OPINION: Prop 4 would eradicate gerrymandering

JayMac: I’m voting “yes” for Proposition 4. It’s a bipartisan effort to reduce the gerrymandering in Utah that’s rampant. It'll create an independent voting commission that'll redraw voting districts.

OPINION: How Apartment Patty and the Black man both messed up

JayMac: Is the white woman racist? Or should the Black man have shown her his keys to prove that he lived there? Both the woman and the man were wrong in this situation. Listen to the segment to find out why I think so.
