West Jordan loses out to New Mexico on becoming the site of a new Facebook data center. Utah Reps. Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz present their Public Lands Initiative to a House Natural Resources subcommittee in the hopes of passing it before Congress adjourns.

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics. He is interested in just about everything and loves to engage people in conversation, so you could say he has found the perfect job as host “Access Utah.” He and his wife Becky, live in Logan.
