Behind the Headlines

Trump backs Romney, Utah may ax death penalty and legislators can use hundreds of millions in unexpected funding

Play

As Mitt Romney begins his campaign for Senate, his relationship with President Donald Trump appears to warm. Rep. Gage Froerer, R-Huntsville, leads the charge to do away with the death penalty, and he has some powerful players backing him. And state lawmakers seem to have an extra $209 million to work with this year.

At 9 a.m. Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Jessica Miller and Chris Kamrani, government and politics editor Dan Harrie and columnist Robert Gehrke join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories.

Each Friday morning, stream “Behind the Headlines” online at kcpw.org or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio for the broadcast.
