Situational awareness – April 2, 2019

Good Tuesday morning from Salt Lake City.

It’s Equal Pay Day. Today is how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year because of the gender pay gap. Here’s more information from the National Committee on Pay Equity.

Here’s what is driving the day:

  • Utahns blame Republicans and Democrats for failing to fix the immigration problem.
  • Our “Political Insiders” and readers say Sen. Luz Escamilla is the frontrunner to be the next mayor of Salt Lake City.
  • Utah opens enrollment in the state’s limited Medicaid expansion.
  • The White House granted security clearances to at least 25 people who were initially rejected over serious national security concerns.
