Voting Info, RAP Tax on This Week in Moab

On the latest This Week in Moab, we get details on mail-in voting and registration from Grand County Clerk/Auditor Quinn Hall and Chief Deputy Clerk Jana Smith. Tune in to learn how it works, and for some important dates ahead. Also, more details on Proposition 8 which – if approved by voters – would enact a 0.1 percent sales and use tax in Moab City to support recreation, arts, and parks. This would equate to one penny for every $10 spent, and would not be levied on groceries or gas. City manager Joel Linares, mayor Emily Niehuas, city council member Tawny Knuteson-Boyd, and arts advocate Rebecca McAllister discuss.
