On today’s episode, I spoke with water and land use reporter Leia Larsen about the Great Salt Lake’s historically low elevation and what’s being done to save the famous landmark.

I also highlight a story from reporter Courtney Tanner about a pithy email sent by state Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, in response to a concerned constituent’s question. An expert says the senator’s reply could be a sign of more systemic problems within Utah, particularly up on the Utah Capitol.
