Salt Lake City, Utah – From health care reform opt-out to claims on federal land, the 2010 Utah legislative session got a lot of attention for bills that asserted "states' rights." But it's not just in Utah or the West - states around the country are challenging federal power on a wide variety of issues. Wednesday on RadioWest, we're looking at federalism - the interplay of power between national and state governments and how the founders envisioned it.
