    Proposal to create 3-digit hotline for survivors of sexual abuse

    Elizabeth Smart is joining the push for a 3-digit emergency number for people who find themselves victims of sexual abuse. It would be similar to 9-1-1 and 9-8-8 and would connect callers with trained professionals who can help in these situations. State Senator Heidi Balderree is working on a bill that would create this number here in Utah; she joins Inside Sources to talk about her proposal.

    Your Voice, Your Vote: Early voting, Utah elections to watch, importance of peaceful elections

    Early voting is underway across the state and mail-in ballots are already being returned. This morning, we learned from the Lieutenant Governor that statewide turnout so far is 6.45%. That's nothing compared to several states that'll be key to who controls Congress; many of those places are seeing record turnout so far. As we get closer to the election, it has us wondering more about the peaceful transfer of power that's such a key part of our constitutional republic. But Deseret News opinion editor Jay Evensen says our elections have become so toxic; he joins the show to explain how not conceding a race plays into this. Greg and Holly also discuss some of the Utah midterm elections they're keeping their eyes on.

    Legislative audit finds no evidence of widespread mail-in voting fraud in the state

    Mail-in voting has been in the crosshairs for several years, with lots of unsubstantiated claims of fraud and misuse. But a new audit out from the Utah Legislature finds that there is no evidence of widespread fraud with mail-in voting. In fact, the audit found that vote-by-mail actually increased participation, especially in rural counties.

    Negative political ads in Ohio gubernatorial race get national attention

    Negative political ads are nothing new -- they've been around as long as politics have been around. We all say we hate them, but they do work a lot of times; that's why we still make them. But a new attack ad from Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, against his Democratic opponent Amy Acton has a lot of people on both sides of the aisle frustrated and concerned with the state of our political ads.

    The changing economics of higher education

    For years and years, there was a push to send kids to college. Then college got more expensive and the pay for having a college degree didn't always keep up. It's created this interesting situation where people really wonder if college is worth it nowadays. And with everything getting more expensive, we think it's a fair question: is a college education worth the cost? The changing economics of higher education was the focus of a discussion from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute this morning. The speaker at that event is our friend Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He joins us in the studio for a discussion on the changing economics of higher education.

    The housing market continues to struggle with higher prices and rising interest rates

    The housing market continues its slog amid higher prices and higher interest rates. Axios reports that Salt Lake City home sales have dropped by 11% since last year. And nationally, September was the worst month for pending home sales; ever since the National Association of Realtors began tracking the data in 2001. For a check-in on how the market is actually doing and whether or not people should lose hope, Holly and Greg speak with Russell Faucette, owner of The Stern Team and principal broker of Omada Real Estate.

    5 common foods in grocery stores see the most price fluctuation -- why?

    While food banks deal with challenges of higher prices for goods, so do the average consumers. We're all dealing with higher prices for groceries, but not all groceries are created equal -- some foods see more price volatility than most. Greg and Holly discuss the five foods that consumers are having the hardest times paying for right now: ground beef, eggs, coffee, butter, and chocolate chip cookies.

    Local food banks facing budget troubles due to high prices, increased demand

    With the way the economy's gone over the last several years, more and more Utah families are seeking help from food banks and community services. And that has those services stretched thinner than ever. Now, we're learning that one food bank in Provo may not be able to help all the families who need support unless it can raise $100,000 by the end of the month. For more on this story, Greg and Holly turn to Jessica Miller, Chief Impact Officer of Community Action Services and Food Bank.

    Ask the Attorney: Should a new Utah Supreme Court Justice recuse himself from the redistricting lawsuit?

    This morning, we learned that a review of people who signed a petition to repeal Prop 4 -- which dealt with redistricting -- found that a new member of the Utah Supreme Court signed his name. Justice Michael Menssen signed the petition roughly seven months before his appointment to the court, yet he's heard argument relating to the redistricting lawsuit; he hasn't stepped back. Should he recuse himself from that case? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts.
