Today on the news, we hear from our regional partners about plans to close two of the coal-fired power plants in Emery County. We’ll also hear from tribal agriculture leaders, who are calling for more sovereignty in the upcoming Farm Bill. Plus, we have an interview with Trevor Aaronson, host of an investigative podcast series about the FBI’s involvement in racial justice protests in Denver in 2020. Maggie McGuire of the Moab Sun News previews what’s on the agenda for today’s Grand County Commission meeting.
