Here locally, Utah Governor Spencer Cox is telling state agencies to make plans for a possible recession as a result of the tariffs. And now China is positioning itself it be the source of economic "stability and certainty." All of this comes while President Trump seeks to bring countries to the bargaining table as he tries to fix what he calls a trade imbalance.    The tax burden faced by Utah families  Not all taxes are created equal. So while we get tax cuts in some places, we often see tax rises in other places. This imbalance warrants a deeper dive -- what's the actual tax burden for the average Utah family? Are they paying more or less taxes overall in 2025? Billy Hesterman, President of the Utah Taxpayers Association joins Inside Sources in the studio to discuss the organization’s Beehive Family Report.    Could Pres. Trump be open to increasing taxes on millionaires?  Tax hikes for millionaires?

Among House Republicans however, the idea is getting mixed reactions. The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on the possibility of this idea moving forward.    Signatures gathered, turned in for referendum on public labor union law  Will Utah voters get the chance to vote to overturn House Bill 267, which barred public labor unions from collective bargaining?

According to the Protect Utah Coalition -- who was behind the referendum drive -- 320,000 signatures were collected in 30 days. That's more than double what is required under state law. Now, those signatures must be verified. State Director of Elections Ryan Cowley breaks down the process and requirements.    Audit finds Utah’s elections are secure but have security vulnerabilities  Utah's election system is secure, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have vulnerabilities and areas for improvement.
