Millions of gallons of water is being saved in one Utah city by mandating smart meters on homes to measure water by the day. The meters can prevent days or months of leaks with sensors that send messages to the base stations. So far, enough water has been saved to supply more than 400 homes with water for a year. Dave and Debbie are joined by Kress Staheli, Washington City Mayor, to talk about how much money this is saving residents on their water bills.

It's National secure your load day and a bride and groom are speaking out after one day before her wedding day, Lydia Kessinger was thrown from a truck bed that was moving 50 mph, while trying to secure a king size mattress. Alex and Lydia Kessinger join the show to discuss their story and spread awareness on national secure your load day.

500K is the goal... by the end of the decade. Congress set aside $7.5 B to build EV Charging stations across the country. There have only been 7 built. Democratic senator, Senator Jeff Merkle is pushing back, calling the rollout "pathetic" after learning how little has been accomplished. Dave and Debbie discuss what they've learned and question what's behind the delay. Are the popularity of hybrid vehicles that don't require a plug in the reason less EV chargers are being built?

Ballots are hitting mailboxes for the UT In today's political climate, we are not doing enough for women to get elected in political positions.

Governor Diedre Henderson about the sendoff of the statue of Martha Hughes Cannon from Utah to Washington D.C. and the waves she made as a political figure.

Would you live in the old Public Safety Building in SLC? Utah leaders want it to be used as affordable family housing and retail space.. Will this be an affordable housing option for Utahns?

As political polarization intensifies, a new election reform has taken root in Alaska. Boyd Matheson, Host of KSL Inside Sources, explains to D2 how the "Final Four" system advances the top four candidates to a general election decided by ranked choice voting, no matter their political party. With several states considering Final Four ballot initiatives this year, will the nation see widespread restructuring of how Americans select their leaders? 

First Dave and Debbie provide updates on the bear that was in the tree in downtown SLC. Then, Jon Pike, Utah Insurance Commissioner, joins the show to discuss why less people are ending up without home owner's insurance. The home insurance market is crumbling as policies are being canceled all over the nation. There are so many homes that are simply not insured because companies are canceling policies or homeowners can't afford rates of $7,000 a year. Should you be scared? Probably, but, Pike helps assuage fears and increase understanding of this issue.
