Utah's Daily Policy Resource, Brought to you by Utah Policy
Good Friday morning from Salt Lake City.
Republicans race to avoid a government shutdown. Are caucus./convention supporters trying to confuse voters? Pence to hit the campaign trail for vulnerable Republicans in 2018.
I've been listening to quite a few podcasts lately, and there are some people doing tremendous work online right now. One new podcast that's really gotten my attention is "Atlanta Monster," which is an examination of the Atlanta Child Murders in 1979. I was just 9 years old when this story was taking place, before 24/7 cable news and on-demand information. I vividly remember watching the evening news daily to see the latest information on this story, which absolutely terrified me at the time. If you have any other podcast recommendations, please send them my way at bschott@utahpolicy.com. You can also send me news tips, story ideas, or favorite viral videos.

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." Nelson Mandela
Stable Genius
"Congressman Brendan Boyle has proposed a bill that would require all presidential candidates to take a mental examination test. And he's calling it the "Stable Genius Act." Do we really need a mental examination to determine Trump isn't a genius? We can just use spell check." James Corden
