Episode Details

Lawmakers have published their audit of Utah State University under former university president Elizabeth “Betsy” Cantwell. The report details lavish spending including an office remodel nearing $300k, a top-of-the line bidet and a climate controlled golf cart. It also alleges contract dealings that may violate Utah's procurement laws. Panelist Leah Murray and Taylor Morgan join Lindsay to discuss the impacts that audit could, and maybe should have, and how the school is working to address the findings and move on. Plus a bill on Capitol Hill this session asks the question: should election day be a state holiday? What that proposal could mean for Utah if it's made law.
