The truth is hot sometimes.

There's nothing fiscally conservative about sprawl. There's nothing "small government" about the costs of sprawl.

It means it either has to get through the committee tomorrow or the house waives the rule and calls it up the house floor for a vote. It’s not dead. Ironically if it doesn’t pass, it means SB195 would remain in effect which in my opinion, is way worse for the city.

Amazing the sway the towing lobby has.

SB242 not making it out of committee was not on my bingo card.

This is my least favorite public art piece I’ve ever seen. Replicating the echo canyon makes it feel like radiator springs. So much potential and that is what we got.

Not much of a surprise here, but NWS confirms this past meteorological winter was Salt Lake City's warmest since record collecting began in 1874, breaking the previous record by 2.2 degrees.

I imagine the same will be the case statewide when that data is released on March 9 #utwx

Has anyone checked on the board of peace today?

Twice in a day seems unhealthy.

Information we all need. This seems like a bad move though, the self check out line gets huge and the large aisle seemed like a good place for it?

In major bid for more housing, SLC could vastly expand where backyard homes are allowed β€” with some caveats In its latest attempt to overcome an affordable housing crisis, Salt Lake City looks to vastly expand where backyard units may be built. But not every council member is on board.

Lawmakers say US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone Members of Congress say the U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Patrol drone.

Pretty hard to secure the border when the military takes out border patrol drones.

Sadly, one of these two people didn’t recover and died.

But they say maga stands for something else, then promptly lose the weird library thing.

HB might be one of the most MAGA cities in socal. I bet they love SCOTUS brushing them off.

Snowmobiler remains missing after being buried by avalanche in Wasatch Back A man was buried by an avalanche while snowmobiling in Wasatch County, and as of Sunday night, he has still not been found.

This one doesn’t sound like it will end well.

Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed by a driver of an SUV while riding their bikes.

There is a lot of truth to this. We all have our struggles, but the path and process of addressing them carries a lot of value.

Looks like UAC didn’t get an updated release from the county sheriff, glad to hear the initial release was not correct.

Sadly another death. It’s easy to second guess people, when the warnings say stay off of and out of the area below avalanche prone areas, please listen. Nearly all of Butler Basin fits the bill, area in pink are slopes steep enough to avalanche.

The Rock Garden, is the first boulder field, just left of center. That is the more specific location. If you’ve done the hike to Lake Mary and stopped at the creek/waterfall, you would be standing above the rock garden.

Wren Hollow is the black run, Mary Back is the green run. Resort follows both. The area on the right of the ski runs are the Mary Chutes, where this avalanche occurred.

Tragic story. You can get to this area where this girl died from a green run down low and a black run above. There are backcountry access points from both. There are always tracks under the ropes in this area.
