Members of the public attend a rally against a proposed constitutional amendment to reform the citizen initiative process at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Monday, Aug. 26, 2024.

Tribune reporters Emily Anderson Stern and Palak Jayswal, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke join host UPR’s Tom Williams to talk about the latest news, including the Utah State Auditor concluding it’s ‘statistically likely’ that Gov. Cox gathered enough valid signatures for the 2024 ballot.
