Midday Metro starts after the 10 a.m. news

We'll check in with Elizabeth Ziegler, one of KCPW's reporters on Capitol Hill during the legislative session.

 

Two conservation groups are merging to create a force of nature for the American West's wild places, wildlife and wild rivers. WildEarth Guardians has a "west-wide" scope, including conservation of the sagegrouse and prairie dogs in Utah. Midday Metro learns more with John Horning of WildEarth Guardians.

 

The legacy of the late-LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley is one of tolerance. Clergy across the religious spectrum say it was largely through his support that interfaith dialogue has improved in the Beehive State. Midday Metro talks about it with Reverend Steve Goodier, Senior Minister at Christ United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City, and Elaine Emmi, Salt Lake Quakers Clerk and president of the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable.
