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.

  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?
