‘Behind the Headlines’: Lawsuit against the LDS Church, Bear Lake water rights and SLC inland port deal

McKenna Denson speaks with reporters during a news conference Thursday, April 5, 2018, in Salt Lake City. Denson, who accused a former Mormon missionary training center director of raping her in the 1980s and the church of failing to take her allegations seriously, has sued the man and the church in a move that could bring more scrutiny to the religion's handling of sexual abuse reports.

The woman who says she was raped by a former Missionary Training Center president sues the LDS Church and comes forward to tell her story. The state of Utah asks for control of unclaimed water in Bear Lake, prompting concerns from environmentalists about downstream effects. And how Salt Lake City’s priorities for an inland port were pushed aside during this year’s legislative session.

At 9 a.m. Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Bill Dentzer and Emma Penrod, managing editor David Noyce and editorial writer Michelle Quist join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories.
