As the 2024 session of the Utah Legislature enters its second week there are many organizations advocating for their causes. We’ll talk to several of these groups today. Our guests will include Rusty Cannon, President of the Utah Taxpayers Association; Bill Tibbitts, Associate Director of the Crossroads Urban Center, Emily Zheutlin, Health Policy Analyst with Utah Health Policy Project, Jason Chipman, Director of Utah Government Affairs for the Libertas Institute of Utah and Lynn de Freitas, Executive Director of Friends of Great Salt Lake. We’ll also give you an opportunity to tell us what you think the legislature should do this session. You can potentially help guide our planning of issues to cover on Access Utah during the session. You can email us now to upraccess@gmail.com
