Jim Dabakis’ next project? A media platform with ‘the stomach’ to dig into Utah government corruption

Jim Dabakis, an outspoken former state senator and Utah Democratic Party chairman, is known for his impassioned and unapologetically liberal politics and the occasional stunt on Capitol Hill.

But according to him, there’s another level that Utahns haven’t seen yet.

“Believe it or not,” he said in an interview with The Tribune, “I’ve always held back a bit during the eight years that I’ve been in public life.”

After falling short in the race to be the next mayor of Salt Lake City, Dabakis says he’s ready to take the next step.
