The Senate approved a pair of bills that tweak Utah’s medical cannabis laws. The bills expand the state’s programs, but some changes were made. One bill removes a provision that would have allowed child patients to access doses on school grounds. Another requires all CBD or hemp products to explicitly state on the label that they are not medical cannabis, but also allows terminal patients to quickly access it. Both bills will now go to the House.
The bill strips the city of its voting power on the port authority board. But the city gets a cut of tax income from the massive project, which is a huge point of contention. "Overall, it’s a great win for us because it gives us legal certainty through a contract that’s yet to be negotiated over the next eight months. Twenty-five years of environmental certainty and investment in our west side communities," said Mendenhall.
Environmental groups are still fighting the bill which does not stop Salt Lake City’s overall lawsuit over the inland port. The port is still pending before the state supreme court and now goes to the full House for a vote.A resolution expressing support for Salt Lake City hosting a future Olympics is getting a gold-medal endorsement.

Good hell KSL, let it go already. Pressure!

4-year-old allegedly fires on officers at Utah McDonald’s on father’s command, police saywitnesses to the incident told police that they overheard the father tell his child to fire the gun at officers. When can we have an honest conversation about gun culture in America and why we've come this far 🤔 🙄 What shocks me is that he was willing to make a scapegoat of one of his kids to get shot by law enforcement and then he would claim millions after suing them. Then media would spin the story into a racist cop one of course. The perpetrator’s name is Sadaat Johnson by the way
