Artwork for State Street

Latest Episodes

The session is done. 540 bills were passed out of 1,020 pitched. But instead of ending on a bang, as it had in the past, the session ended with a polite "here, here" and a golf clap.

How much did the state front in the budget? Are lawmakers angling for federal funding? And what's the political will look like? All is answered.

YouTube

We’re talking tech (hello, AI!), we’re talking state sovereignty and we’re talking about child safety (two big Utah tentpoles).

With a Republican supermajority, Utahns hear some pretty common values from politicians. Small government is one of the big ones. But what happens when a state that's all about “local control” steps into the business of its cities?

  • Excellent Podcast

    This is an excellent assessment and helpful guide to what is actually happening in the UT Legislature. I tried to listen to other podcasts like the right wing “Political As Heck,” and everybody has a passive/passive glottal stop that is unbearable to listen to.
