‘Behind the Headlines’: Natalie Cline’s troubles grow, Cache elections criticized and gravel pit worries resurface

Salt Lake Tribune journalists go on the air to discuss the week’s top stories.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah State Board of Education member Natalie Cline, seen in August 2023, has been censured by the Legislature.

Utah school board leaders request that one of their own, Natalie Cline, resign after she questioned a high school athlete’s gender in a since-deleted Facebook post. Utah lawmakers, meanwhile, vote to censure the embattled Cline. A report says that Cache County election officials falsified records and violated Utah election law. And proposed mining legislation could greenlight a quarry in Salt Lake City’s backyard.

Salt Lake Tribune reporters Carmen Nesbitt, Jacob Scholl and Anastasia Hufham, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, will join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to discuss the week’s top stories.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at upr.org or tune in to Utah Public Radio for the broadcast. Join the live conversation this week by email to upraccess@gmail.com or on X, formerly known as Twitter, @upraccess.
