Special Session with Bryan Schott

Stuart Adams has a problem


Listen Later

Utah Senate President Stuart Adams is under scrutiny after a change to state law he championed benefited his step‑granddaughter as she faced serious felony charges.


Host Bryan Schott goes through the timeline, explains what changed in the law, and tests Adams’ defense against the public record.


We also examine the media’s role and patterns from past episodes where Adams’ actions raised ethical questions.


In this episode: 

  • What the law change did—and who it helped
  • A timeline of how the change moved through the process
  • Adams’ explanations versus the available facts
  • How local media covered the story
  • Why these patterns matter for public trust in the legislature—and whether voters will care
