Juicy Political Texts, Illegal Demolition, and Free Renter Resources

Juicy text messages reveal Salt Lake City Council members’ knee-jerk reactions to a bill paving the way for Major League Baseball and a stadium entertainment district on the Westside. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means share key takeaways from the digital skirmish. Plus, a historic building took a hit on Easter Sunday, and Ali and Emily share local shoutouts. Correction: The Fairpark District Board will still exist even if the Larry H. Miller Company doesn’t secure a Major League Baseball team.
