Rocky Anderson on The Utah Stories Show

Rocky Anderson is never one to back down from that which he believes. This was apparent when he joined us on The Utah Stories Show in July to speak about an array of issues currently plaguing the city and the state at large.

We talked openly about Salt Lake City local businesses, economic development, the Inland Port,  how the state’s medical cannabis compromise bill (3001) puts federal dollars in jeopardy, and the future of Salt Lake City.

This is a must watch podcast, because what you think you know about these topics, you might not.

    Better Solutions Than Spending $2 Billion on a Gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon

    A challenge to the $2 billion taxpayer funded Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola is in the works. What else could that much money be used for?
    Gondola Works was the successful PR and marketing campaign that dazzled UDOT and UTA board members and gained the support of enough Wasatch Front Regional Council members to approve the overall $26 billion plan.
