Show Notes

In Week 2 of the 2025 Legislative Session, Utah lawmakers work to allocate funds in a tight budget year after extra federal spending from the COVID-19 pandemic has dried up.

Proposed legislation could affect how voters pass ballot initiatives and how the state manages elections. Lawmakers also discuss shoring up the state's resources as Federal grant and loan funding for state and local programs is thrown into question by executive orders from DC.

Utah State Majority Assistant Whip Sen. Mike McKell and Minority Whip Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost join KUER politics reporter Sean Higgins and host Jason Perry on this episode of The Hinckley Report.

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.
