News Reel: Moab-based judge asked to resign over controversial sentencing for child sex offender

This week on the News Reel, we speak to Doug McMurdo, editor of the Times-Independent. We discuss a controversial sentencing for a man convicted of possessing images of child sex abuse. We also discuss the $2.5 million contract the city recently approved for road repairs on 100 East, the first project funded by Moab’s property tax. And we finish with a story about declining visitation from Canadian tourists and the impacts on local businesses. - Show Notes - • A Moab-based judge opted not to send a child sex offender to prison.
