As we continue to battle the ongoing waves of COVID-19, there are still thousands of Utah families who lack the protection of health care coverage. The good news is that starting November 1st, and lasting until January 15th, there is a new open enrollment period for the healthcare.gov health ...
Our democracy is at risk. The legislators’ rejection of the maps drawn by the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission (UIRC) left one to wonder whether they felt any obligation to honor the will of their constituents. The Better Boundaries initiative was the work of hundreds of volunteers ...
The next generation of Utah Republicans is thankful to have practical conservative voices like Senator Mitt Romney’s joining the national conversation over how to best address and mitigate the impacts of our changing climate on our communities and economy. This is one of the most pressing ...
Healthy ecosystems require healthy predator populations. Today, hunters in Montana can sit just feet outside of Yellowstone National Park and use baits and recorded calls to lure wolves out of the protected area. They can gun down as many as 10 wolves each. In Idaho, private contractors have ...

The Utah electorate has a problem. Voters don’t know much about the law. For example, fifty years ago, every citizen knew injury lawyers to be “ambulance chasers.” Today, after decades of dumbing down, an injury law firm on TV announces, “If you’re injured, your lawyer will come to ...
