Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Greg Skordas On Inside Sources, we discuss the biggest political stories of the day. Sometimes, that means we discuss legal stories too. And sometimes, it means talking about some rather uncomfortable situations. One of the biggest stories in Utah right now deals with allegations and charges of sexual exploitation of minors and child pornography usage and dissemination between a judge in Box Elder County and the now former Tremonton Fire Chief.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Greg Skordas Government Shutdown Watch: Is it up to Senate Democrats to keep the government running? It all rests on the Senate. And not just the Senate as a whole -- on Senate Democrats. The U.S. House approved a Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded past Friday. But will the Senate concur? Republicans in the Senate have quickly framed the messaging: it's up to Democrats to vote in support of the budget... or force a government shutdown.

Immigration app to be replace by “self-deportation” app During the Biden administration, migrants coming to the US could schedule appointments at points of entry through an app called CBP One. When President Trump took over, he quickly got rid of that feature. Now, the administration is set to release a new app – not for immigration, but for deportation. The new CBP Home app will launch with a new "self-deportation" feature. Which executive orders do Utahns like the most? Since re-entering office on January 20th, President Trump has signed 83 executive orders.

The hunt for Dylan Rounds #DylanRounds #CandiceCooley #Missingperson #FoulPlay BRIGHAM CITY — A young Box Elder County farmer remains missing three weeks after he was last seen just over the Utah line in Montello, Nevada, and a Box Elder County sheriff's official said Thursday the case is an active criminal investigation. “We are looking at all avenues as to why he's missing,” Box Elder Chief Deputy Cade Palmer said of Dylan Rounds, 19, who lived in a trailer at his farm in the Lucin area on the county's western edge. “Our son did not walk into the desert and disappear,” Rounds' mother, Candice Cooley, of Twin Falls, Idaho, said in a Facebook post. “His farm and everything he's worked for is out there and someone knows something.” She said her son was last seen in Montello on May 27 and that his boots were found three days later behind a dirt pile about 5 miles west of his farm. The parents have offered a $20,000 reward for information about Rounds. Palmer declined to release further information about the disappearance due to the criminal investigation. But regarding the search, he said Box Elder deputies have covered 3,000 miles in their searching. Numerous law enforcement and search and rescue units have helped, such as the Box Elder County Horse Posse, the Elko County, Nevada, Sheriff's Office, Weber County Sheriff's Search and Rescue and the Utah Department of Public Safety's Aero Bureau. Palmer said anyone with information about Rounds' disappearance can call the sheriff's office at 434-723-5227, ext. 3894 or 3131. Efforts to contact Cooley were not immediately successful.

June 28, 2021 (Season 3, Episode 6: 59 minutes). Click here for the Utah Department of Culture & Community Engagement shownotes for this Speak Your Piece episode. The shownotes includes additional links and sources. On this 24th of July (Utah's Pioneer Day) the Golden Spike National Historical Park is inaugurating an annual event to celebrate and recognize the Mormon contribution to the world's first transcontinental railroad. Listen to the episode of Speak Your Piece, then start a new Utah Pioneer Day tradition by going to Promontory Summit to hike, see the railroad grades, and to experience the story of the “Mormon graders.” Look into your family history, if you have Mormon ancestors living in central or northern Utah in the late 1860s, they may have worked on the world's first transcontinental road.The Union Pacific Railway contracted with Brigham Young, who then established contractor companies, who then hired thousands of laborers from across central and northern Utah, to grade (cut, fill and tunnel) through the Utah Territory; thereafter other UP workers laid down the track. In this episode, park superintendent Brandon Flint and LDS Church History Department historian Brett Dowdle, speak about this little known Mormon pioneer story, regarding Utah graders who worked from Humboldt Wells, Nevada to the Wyoming border, along with the Chinese and Irish immigrants, and Civil War veterans, building the transcontinental railroad.Fearing what Brigham Young described as a coming "swarms of scallywags," and too, the well-publicized accounts of pop-up or "hell on wheel" towns, bringing violence, gambling, dance halls, saloons and brothels, the Mormons proposed their own workforce to perform the first half of the process: cutting, filling and tunneling the Utah railroad's grade. With the territory's agricultural based economy in constant doldrums (this work met a dire need for hard currency), and optimistically hoping to manage all the changes coming with the national railroad, a couple thousand Mormons left their farms, ranches and shops, to live and work in the wilderness, to help build this most famous of American roads. Guest Bios: Brandon Flint is the NPS superintendent of the Golden Spike National Historical Park, located on the northern shore of the Great Salt Lake at Promontory Summit in Box Elder County. Prior to his appointment Superintendent Flint was stationed at the Cape Cod National Seashore. He completed the NPS Bevinetto Fellowship which included a year working as a staff member in the House of Representatives' Natural Resources Committee. Brandon spent ten years for the NPS in Washington, D.C. Dr. Brett D. Dowdle is a historian for the Church History Department (CHD), of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brett has a PhD in American History from Texas Christian University, and in part, his doctoral dissertation addressing Brigham Young's interaction with the railroad companies, and the creation of grader contracts with Union Pacific and Central Pacific. Brett is a volume editor for the Joseph Smith Papers Project at the CHD.

Utah lawmakers say the time has come for tax reform, and have created a special task force to tour the state, hear feedback from residents and, eventually, draft recommendations for how to update the tax code. That task force recently completed a swing through southern Utah, holding town hall meetings in Richfield and St. George. Those meetings, like others in Salt Lake County and Box Elder County, were well-attended, with residents voicing a range of concerns about whether, and how, to update the state’s tax code without hurting rural economies, small businesses, taxpayers and Utah’s public schools. On this week’s “Trib Talk," reporter Benjamin Wood follows the state’s Tax Restructuring and Equalization Task Force to St. George to hear directly from the Utahns who are watching, and concerned about, the reform process. Listeners can also subscribe to “Trib Talk” on SoundCloud, iTunes and Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify and other major podcast platforms. “Trib Talk” is produced by Sara Weber with additional editing by Dan Harrie.

From bowling balls to peaches and cherries, to rocket motors and airbags, to golden spikes. Box Elder County in Northern Utah has some good economic reasons to be happy. But the county leads the state in one tragic statistic. KSL Newsradio's Marc Giauque has more as we continue our Road to Understanding.
Box Elder County businesses have been going strong over the recent years. This has brought some growth from the south and the east. This has created some underlying challenges. Developers are trying to buy lands from agriculturists. Some consider themselves not exactly urban, but not exactly rural. They are more in the middle, so they call themselves "urbals". There is also some worry about leading the state in the suicide rate. Government officials even spoke with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence about this issue.
President Obama has used presidential power under the Antiquities Act to create a Bears Ears National Monument. Some are lauding this as a courageous decision which will protect vital lands. Others are calling it an arrogant act that ignores the wishes of a majority of Utahns. Today on the program we talked about this on a special two hour Access Utah. We were joined by John Kovash, Utah Public Radio's southern Utah correspondent, Chris Saeger, director of the Western Values Project, Scott Groene, Director of SUWA, John Ruple, University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law research associate professor, Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk, former Ute. Tribal Councilwoman, Congressman Rob Bishop, Bob Keiter, University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law, the Wallace Stegner Professor of Law and director of the Stegner Center, and Stan Summers, Box Elder County commissioner.
The following nomination letter was written by Melinda Greenwood, City Administrator for Pleasant View City: On Friday, April 15, my husband sent me a text regarding three of "my officers" saving an injured dog who was trapped in an empty canal. I later found out that Officer Brady Benson, Officer Robbie Done and Sergeant Corey Clark all participated in the effort of saving and befriending an injured dog. It was a job well done for all three officers! After receiving a call from workers about a dog stuck in the canal with a broken leg, Officer Brady Benson, Officer Robbie Done and Sergeant Corey Clark all responded to the scene. They were informed that the canal workers had attempted to get the dog out, but their attempts were unsuccessful as the dog would growl at them and not allow them near him. Our officers eventually found the dog, which was outside of Pleasant View City limits and into Box Elder County. When they saw the dog, without hesitation, Officer Benson jumped in to the canal and carefully approached the dog. It took an hour, but Officer Benson eventually gained the trust of the dog and was finally able to pet him and calm him down. During that time, the dog would growl at him as he was obviously scared, cold and in pain from his injuries. Officer Benson was then able to get a sheet underneath the dog and with the help of Sergeant Clark and Officer Done, all three were able to get the dog out of the canal safely. Officer Benson also attempted to phone the owner, but was unsuccessful, so the animal was transported to a local vet where a broken leg was confirmed. After finally reaching the owners, they were happily reunited with Max, their dog! The canal company was in the process of turning irrigation water on, so it seems the dog was found just in time. Officer Benson showed great compassion and patience through this canine rescue effort. Sergeant Clark and Officer are also to be commended for their assistance on the call. We have a great police force here in Pleasant View! Read More: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=462&sid=40294138&title=officer-brady-benson-pleasant-view-city-police-department
