Utah voters have some important decisions to make in the upcoming midterm election. There’s the vote on medical marijuana, and one on a tax increase to fund Medicaid expansion. There’s a ballot proposition that would change how we draw the lines of our voting districts, and there’s a “question,” just a question, about raising the gas tax to help pay for education. It’s a lot to consider, and a panel of local journalists will join us to discuss what’s at stake this November.
