Description
Utah is in the middle of a fight in Congress over selling public lands as Utah's senior Senator, Mike Lee, pushes for a proposal to be included in President Trump's big, beautiful bill. Panelists Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider weigh in on whether the budget mega bill is the best place to facilitate the sale, and whether Utah and other western states' need for housing will outweigh the pushback. Some recent polling shows Governor Spencer Cox with a favorable approval rating in Utah, but that he's lost some ground with Utah's democrats. Morgan and Rider weigh in on why.
