Some of Salt Lake's city council members say they're frustrated by the state's new law that dictates how the city and county will fund the Salt Palace renovations. It's part of the plan to revitalize downtown and upgrade the Delta Center. Council chair Chris Wharton joins Inside Utah Politics with Lindsay Aerts to share more on why. He also explains why the city chose ranked choice voting for its November election, and possible city pushback on the ban of pride flags in government buildings. Plus, the Governor's Senior advisor over housing, Steve Waldrip details where the state could be working with the federal government to build housing on federal lands as an effort to chip away at Utah's housing crisis.
