Show Notes

As the 2025 Legislative Session quickly approaches, Utah lawmakers are beginning to numerous propose bills. Our expert panel of political insiders discusses potential changes to higher education funding, election integrity, mail-in balloting, and judicial appointments, along with cuts to taxes on Social Security and shrinking the overall state budget.

Plus, we remember the legacy of Former President Jimmy Carter, who recently passed away at the age of 100.

Host Jason Perry is joined by Brigham Tomco, Utah politics staff writer at the Deseret News — Jeff Parrott, politics editor with The Salt Lake Tribune — and Renae Cowley, lobbyist and political commentator.

Funding for The Hinckley Report is made possible in part by Merit Medical and by the financial contributions of PBS Utah members. If you would like to support the work we do, please visit pbsutah.org/supporthinckley.
