Host: Heidi Hatch

Guests: Maura Carabello- Exoro Group and Dan McCay- Utah Senator (Sponsored NHL Bill)

 

Ryan and Ashley Smith bought an NHL team:

Utah NHL What we know:

  • UTAH will be on the front of the jerseys next season.
  • The team will take its time to determine its name, logos and colors.
  • The Delta Center will be renovated into a dual sport arena- is this where the Legislative bill and funds will be spent, or will it be spent on the surrounding area and eventual new arena?
  • (Should taxpayers fund stadiums?)
  • First priority now is to set up the team players/execs in Utah.

 

Salt Lake County Convention:

Embattled state school board member Natalie Cline’s reelection bid is over.

The Utah Legislature Censured Cline but did not go as far as impeaching and taking away ability to run- was this the right call?

 

State Convention Saturday:

Senators Mike Lee and Mitt Romney voted to hear impeachment case against Homeland Secretary Mayorkas.

Governor Spencer Cox Gave a Ted Talk- encouraging Americans to follow 4 steps

  1. Spend less time with polarizing headlines that pit one side of the country against the other.
  2. Spend more time with people who think differently than you because it is “harder to hate up close.”
  3. Expend more effort serving and giving back to society.
  4. Attempt to develop “the classical political virtues of humility, patience and moderation.”
