City Cast Salt Lake
Utah Mammoth 🤝 ‘Heated Rivalry’ fan?
January 20, 2026
Hey, Salt Lake! Utah’s legislative session starts today. Senators and reps from around the state could pass more than 500 new laws over the next 45 days.
Every politician wants to be caught saying “affordability” right now. So we asked two legislators what bills will tackle the cost of living in Utah. They’re millennials (like us) and their party (Republican) sets the agenda on the hill with a veto-proof super majority.
