View all City Cast Salt Lake episodes

After the illegal demolition of the Fifth Ward Meetinghouse on Easter Sunday comes a juicy plot twist we didn’t see coming. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means share the latest update and ask: Can we trust developers? Plus, winners and losers from the Salt Lake County Democratic Convention and a hot job for City Cast listeners.

Correction: Rep. Brett Garner, D-West Valley, did pursue the signature path to the primary ballot, as did his opponent, Verona Mauga. However, neither candidate certified enough signatures to qualify.
