These things happen. Continue reading to see the peaks and valleys from this past week from within our state and at the national level.

#1. Land transfer battles rage on, county by county – The American Lands Council is alive and well and living in Utah and Nevada

#2. Exclusive: Hillary Clinton: What I have in common with Utah leaders – Will playing the religious card appeal to Utah’s LDS population?

#3. Bid to censure West Jordan city councilman falls short – In one word, we can describe this outcome as “disappointing.”
