NORTH CHARLESTON " At the end of August, City Council weighed changes to the travel policy for elected officials after some members raised concerns that the rules were too vague. Three months later, an incident allegedly broke out between two councilmembers while in Utah for a city-sponsored conference. During the Aug. 21 Committee of the Whole meeting, council discussed revising the policy to ensure fairness in who attends conferences and establish a clearer approval timeline. Since then, the effort hasn't moved forward because council has not directed staff to draft changes, city spokesman Tony Tassarotti said. In November, councilmembers Michael Brown Jr., Nefertiti Brown and Rhonda Jerome traveled to Salt Lake City for the National League of Cities conference, an annual event the city typically attends. While on the trip, a verbal disagreement between Councilman Brown…...

Social capital measures the connections, trust, and civic engagement within communities, and it has significant implications for crime rates, economic prosperity, and quality of life.

Higher social capital correlates with lower crime rates and increased social trust, including reduced rates…...

Wade Christofferson had his first court appearance at Salt Lake City's federal courthouse in November after he was charged with attempting to sexually exploit a child. The path that led Ohio prosecutors to charge Wade S. Christofferson with attempting to sexually exploit a child began a month ago, when they say a Utah father figured out the code that Christofferson had been using with his daughter. The federal prosecutors allege Christofferson had been using this secret language to shield his sexually explicit requests of the 7-year-old girl in letters he had been sending her from Ohio for at least six months. The Utah father discovered the code on Nov. 5, prosecutors say, after he overheard a FaceTime conversation between his daughter and Christofferson and…...
