More than 300,000 Utah households spend at least 30% of their income on rent or mortgage and utilities. I'm looking to talk with Utahns about their housing costs and how what they spend to keep a roof over their heads affects their health. bit.ly/tribune-housing-costs…

The frustration from Utahns about the Box Elder data center isn't surprising considering that the #2 issue in @UtahFoundation 2024 survey was "Politicians ignoring voters" & now “something has changed. It’s torches and pitchforks out there.” nytimes.com/2026/06/14/us/el…

How is Utah doing? At this event, we'll focus on an area where we are doing great (the economy) and one where we aren't (mental health). Register today: eventbrite.com/e/utahs-progr…

Good Tuesday morning! ❄️ Several Utah resorts are waking up to fresh snow, with far northern Utah picking up around a foot overnight. A great start to the day if you’re heading up to the mountains—enjoy the powder!

It’s time to start talking about the wettest months on record! 🌧️ Salt Lake City has picked up 4.16” so far this month — and we’ll likely break into the top ten wettest months ever later this week. Here’s how the all-time list stacks up 👇

"The reason why we are doing that is so that policymakers can make better decisions," said Shawn Teigen with @UtahFoundation. "But it is also that civic leaders can be informed about topics that maybe policymakers are going to be making decisions on." pnsne.ws/4gkhp0A
