Episode Details

A suspicious text survey about Smith Entertainment Group’s proposal for a sports, entertainment, culture, and convention district in downtown SLC is raising flags — red ones! Former Salt Lake County councilmember Shireen Ghorbani joins host Ali Vallarta to break down why Salt Lakers are mad about the questions. Plus, Amendment D is DOA, local restaurant closures and openings, and a must-see drag show.
