KSL's Inside Sources

If you've ever dropped some cash on the street and missed picking it up, whelp … you better kiss it goodbye.

A bit of a voter registration issue in New Jersey has been discovered, where thousands of non-citizens were incorrectly registered to vote. The governor there says some 6,600 people were inadvertently registered when they got their drivers' license. Of those folks, 400 of them ended up voting in elections. Inside Sources discusses how Utah's voter registration works and how the process differs from that in New Jersey.

The man accused of stabbing a mall kiosk worker in West Valley City was expected to be in court today for his initial appearance.

It was a solemn scene in Delaware this morning as the bodies of four service members killed in the Middle East came home.

We hear from SUU President Mindy Benson about the ways the university plans to honor Feehan. Greg and Holly also discuss the escalating costs of the war in general.

The Pioneer Day countdown is on! Fireworks are officially legal to light today, but it depends on where you live.

The Supreme Court will take up a case in the next term dealing with excessive fines. At the heart of the issue is this question: should transporting a six-pack of beer to a dry county via plane... result in the seizure of the plane? We know many of our listeners might not drink beer -- that's not entirely the point of this case. But it does bring up some really interesting questions about unreasonable seizures and fines. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the case to Holly.

Utahns are trying to bridge the gaps often seen between rural and urban Utah, especially when it comes to things like healthcare and food.

We hear part of the announcement today, and Inside Sources Executive Producer Andy Cupp joins Greg and Holly to describe more of the issues that face rural communities.

It's a heartwarming development to such a sad story -- Utahns are stepping up to support the lone daughter left after five members of her family were killed in a flash flood in Wayne County.
