In today’s episode, I outline major events in the primary race for Utah County attorney between Republican incumbent David Leavitt and challenger Jeff Gray. We also include audio from a news conference Gray held at the Utah Capitol on Tuesday.

And managing editor Grant Burningham talks with new Tribune reporter Leto Sapunar about a story he and reporter Scott D. Pierce wrote concerning the major job cuts looming at Smithfield Foods, Beaver County’s largest employer.

Hear all of these stories in the Wednesday, June 15, episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
