Earlier this week Governor Spencer Cox vetoed a bill that would change who chooses the Utah Supreme Court chief justice... Ultimately not allowing himself more power. However, Gov. Cox did sign two other bills that will impact the judiciary. KSL Legal Analyst, Greg Skordas explains what those are.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  Governor Spencer Cox has vetoed his second bill of 2025. Senate Bill 296 would have changed how the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court is chosen. Currently, the other justices on the State Supreme Court choose the Chief Justice. The bill -- which Cox vetoed yesterday -- would have given the selection power to the Governor himself, with confirmation from the State Senate. Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan discuss the Governor’s reasoning for vetoing the bill. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  SCOTUS upholds Biden-era rules on ghost guns  The United States Supreme Court has upheld another Biden-era rule. In a 7-2 decision, the Court upheld a lower court's ruling requiring background checks and other protective measures for ghost guns. As a result of the decision, ghost guns will continue to be treated the same as fully assembled firearms. The Inside Sources hosts break down the decision.    The Atlantic releases all messages involved in “SignalGate” fiasco  "SignalGate" isn't going away anytime soon. More Congressional hearings today as lawmakers try to figure out how the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was included on an unsecured chat discussing military plans on the app Signal. The White House is blaming the whole fiasco on the journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg. Meanwhile National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says he takes full responsibility for the gaffe. Inside Sources digs into the latest, including a full release of all the messages in the chat.    RFK Jr. Reportedly looking to ban pharmaceutical television ads  Just turn on the TV for a bit, and you’re bound to see a drug advertisement that’s so common here in the United States. The U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries that allow drug companies to advertise directly to consumers, and it's a big business.  But they could be going away... if Director of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets his way. Inside Sources discusses this possibility.    Utah A.G. taking part in lawsuit over the Clean Air Act  Utah's involved in a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency over which courts can rule on disputes involving the Clean Air Act. Utah Attorney General Derek Brown and his team argued before the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday, saying that federal courts closer to the individual states should be able to rule on Clean Air Act disputes.  Right now, those disputes go to a federal court in Washington, DC – something which some describe as giving a "home court advantage" to the EPA.    Gov. Cox vetoes bill that would have changed the relationship between the judicial and the executive branches  Governor Spencer Cox has vetoed his second bill of 2025. Senate Bill 296 would have changed how the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court is chosen. Currently, the other justices on the State Supreme Court choose the Chief Justice. The bill -- which Cox vetoed yesterday -- would have given the selection power to the Governor himself, with confirmation from the State Senate. Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan discuss the Governor’s reasoning for vetoing the bill.    Polling data released on Republicans in Utah  New polling shows something most politicos in the state already know -- Republicans still dominate the political scene in Utah. But the data also shows that there are factions splitting the party... largely over President Donald Trump. Inside Sources host Taylor Morgan is a polling nerd; he breaks down the findings with co-host Erin Rider.    Tensing relationships between Greenland and the U.S.  Last weekend, the White House announced that Second Lady Usha Vance would head to Greenland. Now, Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright have announced that they will go with her. It comes amid tense relations between the U.S., Greenland, and Denmark. Inside Sources discusses the latest on foreign policy.    Washington, D.C. to become Washington, D.A.?  Should Washington, DC become Washington, DA? Several Republican lawmakers have posited the idea of getting rid of the District of Columbia and replacing it with the District of America. Just yesterday, Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert warned other lawmakers to stop making fun of Trump's "Gulf of America,” saying that the "District of America" could be coming next.     

In honor of Women's History Month, we reprise this podcast's very first episode chronicling a woman's journey to the bench and beyond. Christine Durham retired from the Utah Supreme Court in 2017 after serving as a Justice for 35 years, including 10 years as Chief Justice and Chair of the Utah Judicial Council. As one of the first women judges in her state, she led the way for others to join the bench. She describes what it was like to be at the forefront of women's changing roles in the law, and what led her to choose a life of public service. Listen in as Justice Durham shares anecdotes that will continue to inspire the next generation of women, lawyers and judges.

The full Utah Senate narrowly voted to approve a bill that would change who picks the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court. KSL legal analyst Greg Skordas joined Utah's Morning News to explain.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Marty Carpenter  Currently, the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court is elected to the position by the other justices on the bench. A proposal on Utah's Capitol Hill would change this, making the position a Governor-appointed one. State Senator Chris Wilson joins us to talk more about SB296: Judicial Amendments. He and the Inside Sources hosts discuss why this may or may not be a good idea. 

Hosts: Leah Murray and Marty Carpenter  Fiery meeting between Pres. Trump and Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskyy  An explosive argument in the Oval Office today between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance -- and it was all captured on camera. Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy met this morning to discuss a deal between the two countries over minerals. As far as we can tell, that agreement was never actually signed. Instead, a joint appearance following private talks spiraled out of control. Inside Sources begins with analysis and discussion on the future of Ukraine-U.S. relations... and the potential for more conflicts between Russia and Europe.    On the Hill 2025: Excused absences for students who compete in rodeos  For a state as Western and as rural as Utah, you may have already thought this was a thing: excusing school absences for students who participate in rodeos. So, you might be surprised to learn that that's not actually a thing. State Senator Mike McKell thinks it should be; he joins us today to explain why and how his bill would make it work.    On the Hill 2025: Changes to who picks the Chief Justice on the Utah Supreme Court  Currently, the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court is elected to the position by the other justices on the bench. A proposal on Utah's Capitol Hill would change this, making the position a Governor-appointed one. State Senator Chris Wilson joins us to talk more about SB296: Judicial Amendments. He and the Inside Sources hosts discuss why this may or may not be a good idea.    On the Hill 2025: Giving educators pay raises and more financial support  State leaders have announced another investment into Utah’s education system. Today, they spoke about pay raises, bonuses, and more financial support for people working with students – teachers and support staff. The Inside Sources hosts analyze the salary increase and one-time bonus... and whether or not it will help with teacher recruitment and retention.    The status of federal budget discussions  The U.S. House of Representatives has been working on a budget resolution, and it's taken a pretty windy path to get there. Ahead of a government shutdown deadline in two weeks, Republican leaders in Congress are working to figure out the budget. Utah Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (UT-2) joins Inside Sources to talk about the budget and where things stand right now.    Pres. Trump wants to make English our official language  In the nearly 250 years of the republic, the United States has never had an official language. Sure, most of what we do is in English. But there's never been a legitimate law or order solidifying English as the official language of the United States. Now, President Trump says he's going to change that with the stroke of his pen. Does he have authority to do this? Hosts Leah Murray and Marty Carpenter share their thoughts.   

Hosts: Erin Rider and Greg Skordas  This legislative session, we've focused on a few bills proposing changes to Utah's judiciary. One of those bills is Senate Bill 296: Judicial Amendments; this would change how the Utah Supreme Court’s Chief Justice is selected. While the bill sponsor wasn’t able to join us, given the legal background of both hosts, Inside Sources spends a segment discussing the proposal. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Greg Skordas  DOGE employees resigning in protest of department’s direction  As the Department of Government Efficiency goes about laying off thousands and thousands of government workers, they may soon deal with some staffing issues themselves: resignations. Today, more than 20 civil service employees resigned from DOGE, saying they wouldn't take part in an effort to "dismantle critical public services." Could this be a sign of more problems with DOGE?     Millcreek Mayor Silvestrini shares reaction to ICE letter  The Mayor of Millcreek is sharing some of the reaction he's received regarding a letter to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You'll recall a few weeks ago -- following a controversial ICE traffic stop on the border of Millcreek and Murray -- Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini wrote a letter urging federal officials to take action. He spoke about the reaction last night during the State of the City and joins Inside Sources to share more.    On the Hill 2025: Resolution calling for changes to homelessness regulations  The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers programs meant to help people stay off the streets and get into affordable housing. However, not everyone thinks these programs are actually doing what they're supposed to do. A resolution on Utah's Capitol Hill is now urging HUD to make changes. Floor sponsor State Senator Heidi Balderree explains more.    On the Hill 2025: Proposal to change how Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice is chosen  This legislative session, we've focused on a few bills proposing changes to Utah's judiciary. One of those bills is Senate Bill 296: Judicial Amendments; this would change how the Utah Supreme Court’s Chief Justice is selected. While the bill sponsor wasn’t able to join us, given the legal background of both hosts, Inside Sources spends a segment discussing the proposal.    Senators, Representatives on both sides issue resolution supporting Ukraine  While the United States joined Russia and North Korea in voting against a UN resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine, members of Congress issued their own resolution supporting Ukraine. It's one of the ways we're seeing a rift form between the president and Congress, even among members of the President's party. We hear some of Senator John Curtis’ thoughts on the situation.    Judges who ruled against Pres. Trump facing impeachment efforts  Several federal judges are facing impeachment bids from members of Congress after the judges ruled against some of the things President Trump is trying to do. The lawmakers claim the justices are guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors." What’s the appropriate course of action to hold judges accountable? The Inside Sources share their thoughts.    Democratic Party receiving less money from now-angry donors  Since the November election, we've spent quite a bit of time discussing what Democrats did wrong and what they're doing as a result of their devastating loss to Republicans. As part of that, we need to talk about funding and donations. New reports show that for the most part, Democratic donors are angry and unwilling to give more money to the party. Is that enough to push the party to change?    Some Tesla owners begin regretting their purchase... because of Elon Musk  Tesla owners once prided themselves on being eco-friendly -- buying an electric car was seen as a symbol of "being green." But since Telsa CEO Elon Musk has become closer and closer to Republican President Donald Trump, it's prompted this interesting sense of regret among more liberal-leaning Tesla owners. Inside Sources finishes off with a discussion on buyer’s remorse.   

Hosts: Leah Murray and Guest Host Thomas Wright    Lawmakers are Utah's Capitol Hill have introduced several bills this session addressing the role of the judiciary here in the state. Now, a new bill file looks at the possibility of expanding the Utah Supreme Court -- adding more justices. Inside Sources hosts Leah Murray and Thomas Wright share their thoughts on whether this would be a good or bad idea. 

Hosts: Leah Murray and Guest Host Thomas Wright    On the Hill 2025: Pulse check halfway through the legislative session  We've now crossed the halfway point of the 2025 Legislative General Session. Between the House and the Senate, roughly 800 bills have been introduced so far, with more being churned out daily. Where do things stand halfway through the session? House Speaker Mike Schultz joins Inside Sources to offer some insights and updates on bills with education and elections.    On the Hill 2025: Proposal to expand the Utah Supreme Court  Lawmakers are Utah's Capitol Hill have introduced several bills this session addressing the role of the judiciary here in the state. Now, a new bill file looks at the possibility of expanding the Utah Supreme Court -- adding more justices. Inside Sources hosts Leah Murray and Thomas Wright share their thoughts on whether this would be a good or bad idea.    Senate confirmation hearings continue; RFK Jr. confirmed and sworn in  More movement in the push for Cabinet nominees to be confirmed in the Senate. Today, Secretary of Education nominee Linda McMahon testified before a Senate Committee and Kash Patel received enough committee votes to move to the full Senate as he works to become the next FBI Director. Plus, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has now been sworn in as Secretary of Health and Human Services.     On the Hill 2025: Giving veterans more access to Utah’s state parks  Veterans could get better discounts to visit Utah's state parks through a bill this legislative session. It'd expand on the existing "Veterans with disabilities honor pass,” which grants discounts to veterans who have a service-related disability. State Senator Karen Kwan joins us to talk more about the bill and the bipartisan support she’s gotten for it.    The state of the economy – is it Pres. Trump’s or Pres. Biden’s fault?  Two new economic reports are out today, shedding additional light on how the economy is doing. It comes after yesterday's consumer price index showed that inflation is continuing to rise. Some are blaming President Trump, who’s mostly blaming former President Biden. At what point does the current president need to take responsibility for things and stop blaming the former administration?    Updates on a federal budget  One month and one day until the federal government runs out of money. And while Republicans control both chambers of Congress, they're continuing to struggle about getting on the same page. The House and Senate have both released their versions of a budget plan; are they similar enough to pass? Inside Sources discuss the state of budget reconciliation.    On the Hill 2025: Bills addressing housing affordability  Housing... it's going to take creative solutions to fix this kind of problem. And one bill proposes a creative solution to affordable housing by tying it in with the Utah Inland Port Authority. State Senator Kirk Cullimore is running the bill. He joins Inside Sources to talk about it and other housing bills on Capitol Hill.    Staying engaged in politics when the news is overwhelming  There are several things going on in the political world right now, and that can make it feel overwhelming. The state's legislative session, all of President Trump's orders, plans, and nominees, talks of international conflicts and trade wars -- if you feel overwhelmed by it all, you're not alone. When there's so much going on how can you stay engaged in politics without burning out?

A Utah judge ruled in favor of the Moab Police Department in a lawsuit brought by Gabby Petito's family, citing the Government Immunity Act of Utah as the basis for his decision. The lawsuit stemmed from the department's handling of a domestic violence incident two weeks before Petito's murder by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. Petito's tragic death in August 2021 gained widespread attention when her remains were discovered in Wyoming. Laundrie, later identified as her killer, died by suicide, leaving behind a notebook confession. The Petito family's $50 million civil lawsuit alleged that Moab Police failed to follow state laws and department policies during a roadside stop in which they investigated a domestic violence incident between Petito and Laundrie. They argue that this failure endangered her life. Judge Don Torgerson acknowledged the family's concerns but ruled that the police department could not be held accountable under Utah's legal framework. “I do think that plaintiffs have made a prima facie case that Moab's officers' conduct here could have been a cause of death. Not necessarily THE cause of death, but a cause of death,” Torgerson said during the hearing. Despite these remarks, the judge explained that the Government Immunity Act shields officers from liability, leading to his ruling in favor of the police department. The decision allows the Petito family to escalate the case to the Utah Supreme Court, and they intend to do so. In a statement provided to FOX 13 News, the family shared their resolve: "While the ruling today may feel like a setback, it was not unexpected. We never anticipated that this would be an easy process and look forward to the Utah Supreme Court upholding the Utah Constitution's original intent to preserve the right to recover for wrongful death claims under these circumstances. We remain committed to pursuing justice for Gabby and thank the many people who have continued to support us in that fight." The case highlights ongoing debates over police accountability and the effectiveness of domestic violence interventions. During the original roadside stop, body camera footage showed a visibly distressed Gabby Petito speaking with officers. Critics have argued that the officers misclassified her as the primary aggressor, contrary to evidence suggesting she was a victim. The family asserts that better intervention could have prevented her death. While the court's ruling absolves the Moab Police Department of legal responsibility, it has reignited public discourse about the importance of law enforcement's role in protecting victims of domestic violence. #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #MoabPolice #DomesticViolence #UtahLaw #WrongfulDeath #JusticeForGabby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a landmark decision, the Utah Supreme Court has struck down a controversial ballot measure that would have significantly altered the balance of power between voters and legislators. This ruling, which upholds a lower court's decision, represents a crucial victory for advocates of direct democracy and voter rights in the state. The court's decision underscores the importance of transparency and clarity in the democratic process, particularly when it comes to constitutional amendments. Maura Carabello joins the show.

Join Boyd Matheson in delving into Thursday’s news! Maura Carabello discusses how the Utah Supreme Court voids ballot measures that would have undercut voters’ power.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner Earlier today, attorneys for the Legislature argued before the Utah Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling on Amendment D. That ballot measure would ensure the Legislature’s power to repeal, amend or ignore voter-approved ballot initiatives. In a lower district court today, another hearing was held regarding the lawsuit over Amendment A, which would change the way income taxes are used. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas joins the show to explain the arguments for each.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner Updates on Amendments A, D lawsuits Earlier today, attorneys for the Legislature argued before the Utah Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling on Amendment D. That ballot measure would ensure the Legislature’s power to repeal, amend or ignore voter-approved ballot initiatives. In a lower district court today, another hearing was held regarding the lawsuit over Amendment A, which would change the way income taxes are used. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas joins the show to explain the arguments for each. The biggest threat to Utah’s cannabis industry is the black market Utah’s medical Cannabis program has been around for almost five years. Some companies say that almost 80,000 people are considered medical cannabis patients in Utah. The biggest problem is still the black market. Why should the state care where people are getting their Cannabis from? Taylor and Adam discuss Do we need another presidential debate? A new poll from Quinnipiac University found that 64% of people want to see another debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump. If the two sides were to agree on another debate, how much would be different? Is either candidate capable of showing us anything new? This raises the question… do we really need another debate? The hosts explore both sides of the argument. China launches an ICBM into the Pacific Ocean Earlier this morning the Chinese military launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a “dummy” warhead into the Pacific Ocean. This is the first launch since 1980. This comes while the UN General Assembly is meeting in New York. Adam Kozloski, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council Indo-Pacific Security Initiative, joins the conversation about how dangerous this is for countries in the region, and what it means for the US. Senate stays open Senate republicans are choosing to avoid a spending shutdown a few weeks before the election. Even with former president Donald Trump calling to use government funding to push for voter registration reform, GOP lawmakers are moving ahead with caution, prioritizing the campaign trail, rather than focussing on a budget battle. The hosts discuss. Vice President Kamala Harris’ plans for the housing shortage One of the big points in VP Kamala Harris’ plan to fix the housing shortage is a $25,000 down-payment support to first-time home owners. The budget for this plan is 100 Billion dollars over four years. Do we have enough money to put that in place? What potential problems come with this plan? What are some of the other options? News roundup: Swearing politicians, Utah Lake, Japanese robots with skin A British news source called VP Harris the “sweariest” president. Experts say that Utah Lake isn’t as dirty as it used to be, and Japanese scientists are developing robots with regenerative skin tissue, and they can smile. Taylor and Adam hit all these topics in the last segment of the night.

Amendment D is the proposed constitutional amendment that would give the legislature the power to keep, repeal or change ballot initiatives approved by voters. Amendment D is printed on your ballot -- but recently a Utah judge voided it -- now the state legislature goes before the Utah Supreme Court to argue why it should not be voided. KSL Legal Analyst, Greg Skordas, joins the show to discuss what we're expecting from court today and what it will mean for voters in November.

Arguments for Amendment D are underway.  Amendment D is the proposed constitutional amendment that would give the legislature the power to keep, repeal or change ballot initiatives approved by voters. Amendment D is printed on your ballot -- but recently a Utah judge voided it -- now the state legislature is arguing before the Utah Supreme Court to argue why it should not be voided. KSL Legal Analyst, Greg Skordas, joins the show with more of his analysis on the arguments of the Amendment. KSL Newsradio Reporter Adam Small joins the show with the latest developments from the courtroom.

Hosts: Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner Just a day after a judge said Amendment D was “void,” the state filed their appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. Their petition just came out this afternoon; KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas tore right through it. We start the show off discussing the latest developments in this situation and what the state’s saying in their appeal to the higher court.

Election betting legalized, then illegalized againFor a few hours on Thursday, election betting was legal here in the United States. A judge said it was okay, but a quickly-filed appeal put another pause on it. The back-and-forth got us thinking: why isn’t election betting okay? If other kinds of betting are largely legal – including sports betting – why isn’t it okay to bet on candidates? Dave Noriega, co-host of Dave and Dujanovic on KSL NewsRadio and a former sports journalist joins the conversation to help explain why we can’t compare other kinds of gambling to betting on elections. Changes to Ogden’s city government approved in lieu of HB261HB261 – the “anti DEI bill” – forbids public institutions from having separate offices and departments focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The bill’s effects on institutes of higher education have been well-documented and discussed, but it also affected the Ogden Diversity Commission. Ogden Mayor Ben Nadolski joins KSL at Night to talk about the changes coming to the commission’s name and focus. Listen in to hear how the intent of the commission is still the same. Harris sees a boost in the polls following presidential debateWe’re seeing new poll numbers following Tuesday’s presidential debate; they show a boost in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. How’s the Trump campaign reacting to these numbers? KSL at Night hosts Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas discuss the latest polling and talk about where the trends are heading now. Utah judge rules on the privacy of NIL contracts between universities and athletesThis week, a judge ruled that public universities in Utah can continue to keep NIL agreements private. Those contracts – dealing with an athlete’s name, image, and likeness – have been a point of contention between news organizations, universities, and the state legislature. We break down what the latest ruling means. AG Merrick Garland denounces attacks on the Department of JusticeThe attorney general is denouncing “dangerous” and “outrageous” attacks on the Department of Justice. It comes as DOJ prosecutors and personnel have reported more and more attacks on them, largely from people on the fringe sides of the political spectrum. Garland also reaffirmed that the department would continue to “follow the facts.” Listen in for our discussion on what he said. Discussion: when does a person consume too much political news?When does political news consumption move from being informed to feeling overwhelmed? New survey results give us a better look into how men and women across the country feel about political news. KSL at Night hosts Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas discuss their own political news consumption habits and how they keep from getting overwhelmed.

The man who killed Joyce Yost wins a major victory in court, seeing his death sentence overturned for a second time. It all boils down to one line of questioning at Doug Lovell's 2015 trial.

Democrats surprised at Harris’ pledge to eliminate taxes on tipsDemocratic presidential-hopeful Kamala Harris’s recent pledge to eliminate taxes on tips has taken many Democrat insiders by surprise. Many who said it was a silly idea when Donald Trump proposed it were taken aback by a similar proposal from the other side. We talk about this development and offer some other polling updates in the presidential race. How a new bond could improve mental health services in jailA $507 million bond proposal for public safety is heading to the ballot in Salt Lake County in November. One of the motivations for this bond is to improve and expand mental health resources for those dealing with homelessness and criminal activity. Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera says that the county jails are the largest mental health providers in the state. She joins KSL at Night to talk more about the things she sees in her department. Inflation cools in July; what does that mean for consumers?New numbers released this morning show that inflation cooled off in July, with consumer prices rising only 2.9% last month. It’s the lowest inflation reading since March 2021. What does that actually mean for consumers, however? We hear from a senior economist who explains the numbers for our listeners. Utah’s changing population and its effects on the political landscapeRecent analysis of Utah’s demographics examines several changes: the amount of Californians moving into the state as well as the growing ethnic and racial minority communities. Mallory Bateman, Director of Demographic Research at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute breaks the reports down for the KSL at Night hosts. Then we discuss what those trends could mean for the political landscape in the Beehive State. Odd lawsuit involving allergies and Disney+Following the death of his wife due to an allergic reaction at Disney World, a man filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney. However, the entertainment company says the man can’t sue them, due to terms of use he agreed to when he signed up for a free trial of the Disney+ streaming service in 2019. We finish the show taking a look at this rather outlandish situation involving allergies and a streaming service.

Host: Taylor Morgan Salt Lake County’s $507 million public safety bond proposal heads to ballotThis afternoon, the Salt Lake County Council voted 8-1 to send a bond proposal to the November ballot.

Leah Murray, KSL at Night host and Director of the Walker Institute of Politics & Public Service at Weber State University joins host Taylor Morgan to discuss why we allow candidates to focus on personal attacks rather than on policy differences.

Host: Leah Murray Lyman campaign petitions for pause in printing general election ballotsIn a new filing today, the Lyman campaign asks the Utah Supreme Court to force the state and counties to not print ballots for the general election. The campaign is asking for a pause while they wait for the Supreme Court to make a decision on their earlier lawsuit contesting the results of the GOP gubernatorial primary election.

Harris proposes eliminating taxes on tips; following Trump’s pledge months agoSpeaking to a rally in Nevada two months ago, former President Donald Trump pledged to eliminate taxes on tips. This past weekend, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris made a similar pledge to another group in Nevada. Already, there have been claims of stealing ideas. But is it possible to steal an idea such as that? KSL at Night host Leah Murray offers her insights on how the Harris campaign could have messaged the idea better in order to prevent claims of copycatting. Cell phone bans beginning as the school year startsLast Spring and into the Summer, states across the country began calling for schools to ban cell phones. Several states already passed legislation that goes into effect now, just as the school year begins. We speak with Granite School District Superintendent Ben Horsley to get a Utah-specific view on potential cell phone bans in schools. What are some of the pros and cons of banning phones? Listen to find out! The role of legislative conferences in drafting state legislation“I’m just a bill, yes I’m only a bill.” Remember the rest of the Schoolhouse Rock song? It sets up a rather simplistic view of how ideas turn into bills and ultimately into laws. But the actual process is much more complicated. Maura Carabello, KSL at Night host and President/Owner of The Exoro Group talks with Leah about legislative conferences and how they can guide legislators around the country to pass very similar legislation in their respective states.

What effect is a Harris-Walz ticket having on Senate races in the West?Presidential nominees can often affect other candidates down ballot; that seems to be the case right now with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. We discuss how a Harris-Walz ticket is affecting races for Democrats looking to earn or keep a spot in the United States Senate, using a new Deseret News article that examines the situation. Discussing how the media is treating presidential candidate Kamala HarrisSome criticisms of Kamala Harris are that she’s avoiding the media. We talk a little bit about why that may or may not be true. Adam Gardiner, KSL at Night host and President of ASG Consulting joins tonight’s show to talk about political strategy for the Harris-Walz campaign. We also compare it to how the Trump-Vance campaign is dealing with their own media relationships.
