Gov. Cox moves to restrict fireworks, Senate President's primary loss sends shockwaves

from Inside Utah Politics with Lindsay Aerts

Governor Cox announces a new executive order that gives the State Forester and town fire marshals far greater power to restrict, and in some cases ban, private firework displays. It comes as over 100,000 acres burn in severe wildfires across the state, including the Cottonwood Fire, which the governor described as the most destructive fire in state history. Panelists Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider weigh in on the interplay between, legislative, executive, and municipal authority to handles these types of issues, and the political tensions that arise when those entities butt heads. Plus, Senate President J. Stuart Adams' loss on primary night to Stephanie Hollist sends shockwaves through state politics. We unpack the downstream impacts on leadership and legislative priorities.
