Description

Earlier this month, protesters from Salt Lake City to Washington DC demanded that U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack revoke a permit for the proposed Uinta Basin Railway. Today on the news, we hear how a Utah train could impact communities in Colorado and beyond. Plus, policymakers met in Las Vegas last week to discuss the future of the Colorado River. But, they didn’t emerge with any new commitments to significantly cut back demand.
