Today’s Salt Lake Tribune has as its top headline in the Utah section: Kanab kid takes on mayor – in person–Radio broadcast: Teen blasts him for skipping town after writing letters.
Matt Livingston, the 17-year-old columnist who took on Mayor Kim Lawson over Kanab’s passage of the headline-grabbing natural-family resolution, did so again Wednesday – this time not in the weekly newspaper but face to face during a live radio broadcast.
“People look at Kanab and think it’s a crazy place,” said Livingston, who was applauded by about 200 residents and students attending the KUER-FM broadcast at Kanab High.
The mayor said he supports free speech but that journalists should stick with basic facts (who, what, where, when) and not editorialize issues.
The “natural family resolution” is hurting business, according to business owners in Kanab.
