During a recent debate, the five candidates running for Moab’s city council were quizzed by the Chamber of Commerce about what they’ll do for local business. Although not all candidates are business owners themselves, they each played to their strengths. Plus, the state of Utah is suing TikTok, claiming the company intentionally encourages unhealthy social media use in children. And later, public lands in the Four Corners region are preparing for eclipse-related traffic.

Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Sophia Fisher of The Times-Independent discusses the Ute Mountain Ute protest of uranium mining and milling in White Mesa, a new affordable housing plan proposed by the Moab Area Housing Task Force, and a city council candidate debate about business in Moab. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News covers the Moab Museum’s special ghost town program and a new study about the mental health consequences of being queer in the LDS church.
