What's Next for Fairview? An Attorney's Take On The RLUIPA Arugment

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by attorney Kolby Reddish as we discuss RLUIPA, a key component in the Fairview LDS temple situation.

RLUIPA stands for the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. The LDS church uses this law to intimidate towns by insinuating that their zoning ordinances and laws are superseded by RLUIPA and the church can sue towns if they can't build the temple they want, even when it exceeds established zoning codes.

But is this really the case? Our discussion in this episode digs into what RLUIPA actually says and what it allows. It's a complex issue but Kolby is able to shed some real light on the law and its uses. You won't want to miss this!
