Toxic Dust vs. the Great Salt Lake Czar

City Cast Salt Lake

Great Salt Lake Commissioner Brian Steed has been leading the response to Utah’s biggest environmental crisis for more than a year. Is he OK? Host Ali Vallarta asks the commissioner about the best and worst ideas to save the lake, what he’s doing about the toxic dust, and how he juggles competing interests.

For more context, listen to “Utah Made a Plan to Save the Great Salt Lake!” and “Corporations Have Rights. Should the Great Salt Lake?”
