Quietly, a done deal.

Transportation of detainees by a subsidiary of GEO Group (private contractor for detention centers).

A purchase from a private LLC in Chicago of a SLC warehouse.

To house humans.

I have to hand it to our Content Creator Senator Mike Lee. He doesn't pass many bills, but when he's fully committed, he's not above telling the truth if lying alone isn't helping to get his bill to the president's desk. #utpol #SaveAct

Caroline Gleich (@carolinegleich) Utah is trying to build a “mega” ICE detention center in Salt Lake City. There’s a protest THIS WEDNESDAY March 18th, 6-7:30pm at 6020 W 300 S SLC. Show up if you can. Share if you can’t. This is not ...

You'll, at the very least, be able to look your grandchildren in their questioning eyes and say you chose the right when a choice was placed before you.

Highs and Lows: Tackling the $38 Trillion Debt Highs and Lows: Tackling the $38 Trillion Debt

I’m sharing Senator John Curtis’ weekly newsletter from my inbox.

Note the irony of the senator’s bicameral fiscal restraint bill.

I’ll point out that the good Utah senator voted FOR the deficit exploding OBBB.

Read on, Utahns.

Political cartoon in today’s Salt Lake Tribune. Cartoonist is 
Pat Bagley. Titled, “Do you speak woke?” A single panel with six different scenes, depicting Bagley’s view of what Utah politicians tout as voter fraud here.

As the cartoon drawings progress: A reporter seeks evidence that 300 dead people voted. A politician taps his phone for said evidence. 

He disappears. In his place, Jefferson Burton (R-UT, Salem) appears. In the real legislative session, he proposed new legislation which would curtail mail-in voting. 

The last panel, if I’m correctly interpreting, has two politicians seeing his legislation as a scapegoat. What actually passed was a “study” to be conducted on vote by mail.

Killing citizen power.
Drawing “fair” maps.
Suing over court ordered maps.
Deciding which party runs, where.

And now a “study” on VBM.
If your voice didn’t matter….

Friends, I’m hearing conspiracy stories that the DHS/ICE detention center is part of a deal in exchange for federal $$ to save the Great Salt Lake. I promise you, that’s not true. We Republicans are more than happy to host a concentration camp in SLC regardless. #utpol

U. to assume ownership of historic Rio Grande Depot in Salt Lake City The University of Utah is poised to assume ownership of a historic train station toward the western edge of downtown Salt Lake City, although it remains unclear what it plans to do with it.

New: State building officials confirmed to KSL that the historic Rio Grande Depot, which has been closed for nearly 6 years now, will soon be in the University of Utah's hands.

The transaction was buried in documents tied to a bill passed this year #utpol

I don’t think the article said, but KSL reported on the
10 o’clock news last night that the funds came from some trust? I wanna say Chicago?

Incidentally, the way a news tease was played on KUTV (a Sinclair station)? “It’ll bring jobs.”

Heck, get creative. Start an emergency "road reconstruction" and then take way longer than usual to finish it. Then immediately do "sewer upgrades". Then "water upgrades". Accessibility modifications to all sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. #utpol
