SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah -- From losing the Outdoor Retailer convention to the big announcement about a reduction in the number of homeless shelters being built in Salt Lake City, there is no shortage of controversy lately.

  1. How much did the public outcry figure into reducing the number of homeless shelters from four to two?
  2. Who is responsible for Outdoor Retailer leaving Utah, and how big of a deal is it really?
  3. What's the best part about being Mayor of Salt Lake County?
