State leaders prepare for water problems, national democrats target a purple Utah

from Inside Utah Politics with Lindsay Aerts

Our record-breaking winter is over and the results are not pretty. The snowpack may have already peaked weeks earlier than it should have at a record low. Department of Natural Resources Executive Director Joel Ferry joins Lindsay to assess how the policy tools at their disposal can address the serious problem, and what the state's message will be heading into the hot months. Plus, national democrats set their sights on Utah. DNC Chair Ken Martin tells donors and state party leaders that they're hoping to lay the groundwork for a purple Utah. Utah Democratic Chair Brian King joins us to explain how they plan to make that big goal a reality. And for the first time, Governor Spencer Cox addresses the plans for an ICE facility in Salt Lake City.
