AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Health & Food Trends: “Dirty soda” is spreading beyond Utah as a sugary “soda-mocktail-dessert” hybrid, and doctors are warning it can pack 55–70 grams of sugar per drink—more than double daily limits—turning a trendy treat into a regular health risk. Local Governance: Washington County’s new “Treebate” pays residents for replacing water-hungry grass with water-wise landscaping, adding $100 per tree planted. Elections & Civic Life: Utah County’s newly appointed deputy elections clerk is drawing backlash after sexist comments about universal voting rights, while the state reminds voters who missed mail-ballot deadlines they can still vote early or in person. Community & Safety: Heber Valley Hospital welcomed its first therapy dog, “Pippi,” as part of ongoing visits aimed at easing loneliness for patients. Culture & Sports: Park City’s Deer Valley is set to host the Fox U.S. Open of Mountain Biking in September, and Utah’s Castle Country Cornhole brought home state championship wins in Nephi. Arts: Heber City artist Mara Powell is debuting “Backyard Fables: Adventures Across Utah” at the Park City Library reception.
