An InvestigateWest review found at least 30 people charged with trafficking without evidence of selling or distribution. They face mandatory minimum prison terms.
The Salt Lake City Human Rights Commission has documented a number of instances of housing discrimination against people because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, class or ability. Rosemary Winters of the Salt Lake Tribune highlighted a few disturbing instances - a landlord who refused to fix a family's oven because the tenants didn't speak English, and a man who faced eviction because he was gay. Among other recommendations, the report suggested Mayor Ralph Becker and the City Council pass a nondiscrimination ordinance. Becker has said he planned to introduce such an ordinance this year.
