Weekly News Reel: City budget banks on new property tax revenue KZMU News

On the News Reel today, we talk to Sophia Fisher, reporter with the Moab Times-Independent, about the city’s new budget, which includes plans to reinstate a property tax in Moab for the first time in 30 years. We also talk about where things stand for new hotels that were approved years ago before city and county laws restricted construction of new overnight accommodations. We finish off with an update on Utah’s snowpack and what to expect this spring. Plus, a shout out to the Grand County High School’s boys soccer team.
