Miss: AG Gagging It should surprise no one that our elected officials are interested in enhancing their personal brands. Attorney General Sean Reyes fought long and hard to keep his calendar from the public—you know, the public that elected him and pays his salary. Then a district court judge ruled the calendars should be released, and a settlement with

Hit: Wet Work Even if you're a climate-change denier, you still want clean water and air—and maybe even dirty water, if droughts were to get bad. The recent election put all of this in the crosshairs as progressives worry the second Trump agenda means more coal-fired plants and worsening, drier weather in the West. That sounds bad for the over-used Colorado River. But wait, good sense may prevail. "Elections don't add water to the river," John Entsminger, Nevada's lead Colorado River negotiator, told

Miss: Sort and Deport We saw them coming, and yet America opened its arms to the second coming of Japanese-American internment. This time, though, pretty much any nonwhite residents should watch their backs as Trump's immigration goons approach. In Utah, this includes Gov. Spencer Cox. Sure, he says the state welcomes refugees and legal immigrants, but will it? Not all—in fact very few—undocumented people are criminals. A National Institute of Justice study found "undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate... for property crimes." Never mind, crime was a great motivator, much like fear, in this last election, and Cox is riding the wave of disinformation and self-preservation.

Miss: The Voting Dead Utah can't even win when it's winning. Take our election system, for example. There was righteous indignation over a recent legislative audit that suggested dead people had been voting. Well, it didn't actually say that. It said two—count them, two!—dead people voted. Of course, dead people can't vote, but the audit did find that voter rolls contained 1,400 deceased voters, of which two mailed ballots apparently were cast. Maybe it was a mistake or maybe deliberate, but do the math. Of the 1,400 deceased, 700 were marked as active voters and sent ballots. Two ballots were returned—two out of the more than 2 million total Utah voters. This really worried House Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, who now says mailed ballots can't be trusted. UVU's Herbert Institute takes exception. They determined that, "Utah's election laws and procedures (make it) exceedingly unlikely that any appreciable level of election fraud could go undetected."
