LDS Church wealth, Utah horse sanctuary, and unusual wildfire prevention tactics

Salt Lake Tribune reporters discuss the week’s top stories.
(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Analysts at The Widow’s Mite Report estimate that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose main campus in Temple Square in Salt Lake City is undergoing a massive renovation like here in April, will be worth $500 billion in 11 to 15 years and $1 trillion in 21 to 27 years.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is on track to become a trillion-dollar faith, according to a new report. A Utah sanctuary is saving horses from being used for human food. And Utah lawmakers donated millions to support a private landowner’s unusual wildfire prevention technique. It works?
At 9 a.m. Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Tony Semerad, Julie Jag and Leia Larsen join host Tom Williams to discuss the week’s top stories.
