Greg Hughes, former Speaker of the House for Utah, joins us to unpack pressing issues that are reshaping Southern Utah's landscape. From the skyrocketing cost of living to the scarcity of local industries, we explore the real-world consequences on the younger generation and the community at large. Greg sheds light on critical matters such as infrastructure and housing, while also urging us to channel our collective frustrations towards meaningful change. We also dive into the fascinating shift from centralized to decentralized media sources and how this evolution impacts public discourse and focus.Reflecting on personal political journeys, Greg and I discuss the growing influence of legislative staff in Utah and what this means for the state's political process. Drawing contrasts between Utah's part-time legislature and full-time models in other states, we ponder the benefits and drawbacks of each system. Greg shares his insights from his 2020 gubernatorial campaign and recount his early political experiences, from volunteering in Pennsylvania to managing high-stakes events in the Bush-Quayle campaign. These stories highlight how political campaigns not only shape perspectives but also forge lasting commitments to public service.Finally, we tackle the complexities of expanding internet access and the financial risks cities face when investing in fiber optic infrastructure. Using Provo's iProvo initiative as a cautionary tale, we underscore the need for strategic planning in municipal broadband projects. Additionally, Greg and I discuss broader economic challenges, such as the transition from coal-fired plants and the critical issue of affordable housing. With upcoming events like the Housing Coalition Forum, we emphasize the urgent need to address these pressing issues to ensure sustainable growth and quality of life in Southern Utah.Find No Gov Internet here:https://www.nogovinternet.com/Looking for a Real Estate expert?
