Holly and Greg share the governor's comments and give their takes on whether it's enough to really address the concerns. 

Property taxes could increase more than five times for folks living in the newer city of Ogden Valley.

Mom's get a special treat this weekend -- Sunday is Mother's Day. Now we know this can be both a happy time for people, but also a sadder time.

Relationships are complicated; maybe even more so when it comes to our families. Greg and Holly share memories of their own moms and why they think Mother's Day is special. We also take calls and read texts from listeners with their own Mother's Day wishes.

One year ago, a ban on fluoride in Utah's drinking water went into effect.

In the early hours of April 25, 1986, someone killed a clerk at a 7-Eleven store in Layton.
