Authorities said Sunday the Iron Fire in Utah’s Juab County had blackened 34 square miles, and all 1,000 residents of the town of Eureka were forced to leave their homes. No structures were lost as of Sunday.

Senator Mike Lee’s push to fast-track rule changes for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument failed to pass before a key deadline. But the fight over the southern Utah monument is likely far from over.

The White Mesa Mill is praised for putting the Beehive State on the global energy map and playing a crucial role in our everyday technology. At the same time, it's also the target of criticism and concern over community health.

June is Pride Month across the U.S., and Gov. Spencer Cox has made that declaration in 2021, 2022 and 2023. In 2024, he deemed June a “Month of Bridge Building” before switching to Fidelity Month this year.

Cox appointed Jay Jorgensen and Stephen Dent to fill the two vacancies created after the Legislature expanded Utah's highest court. But the governor also has two more appointments to make.

The framework is designed to protect the environment and Utah’s economic growth.

The declaration isn’t a surprise. Utah’s water outlook has been deteriorating for months following the state’s warmest fall and winter on record.

Gov. Spencer Cox called geothermal power the answer to not only people’s questions about the Box Elder Stratos data center, “but these types of projects all across the country.”

Hagen had been under the scrutiny of Republican state leaders over an alleged relationship with an attorney representing the plaintiffs in Utah’s redistricting case.

After voting yes on a hyperscale data center to be built in Box Elder County, hundreds of protestors booed the county commissioners out of the building. But as Commissioner Lee Perry explains, their vote wouldn’t have stopped the project.

With the worsening drought, the Colorado River is already at a “worst-case scenario,” and Gov. Spencer Cox thinks that may force states to find common ground.
