Data Center Showdown: Protesters flooded Utah’s Capitol and delivered a 7,000-signature petition urging Gov. Spencer Cox to slow the Stratos hyperscale data center in Box Elder County—approved fast, with critics warning it bypassed real public input and could strain water and the Great Salt Lake. Local Governance: The fight is spilling into city halls too, with Oakley extending its AI data-center moratorium to April 2027 while planning a summer work session on permanent rules. Courts & Public Life: In the Kouri Richins sentencing fallout, the Utah judge said she was “too dangerous to ever be free,” after impact statements described her sons’ fear. Education & Beliefs: A new Utah law lets students opt out of coursework that conflicts with their beliefs, spotlighting a growing culture clash over assigned materials. Community Pulse: Provo’s Bike to Work Day kept rolling—boosted by local businesses and a gold-level bicycle-friendly award.
