According to Utah Stories, Salt Lake County leaders approved a roughly 14% property tax increase after a tense truth-in-taxation hearing on December 9, scaling back an earlier proposal near 20% but still adding about $36.5 million in annual revenue and fueling a possible referendum drive over affordability and government spending priorities.[Utah Stories]
At the state level, the Sun Advocate’s SU News reports that lawmakers, meeting in special session, repealed 2025’s House Bill 267, which had barred public-sector employers from collective bargaining with unions, and simultaneously advanced their fight over redistricting after courts and an independent anti-gerrymandering board intervened in congressional maps approved by the legislature.[SU News] Debate continues over separation of powers, with Republican leaders arguing the judiciary and redistricting board have overstepped, while Democrats say the court’s map best complies with Proposition 4 and voter intent.[SU News]
In the economy, KSL.com reports that medical technology company Stryker will significantly expand its Salt Lake City operations, bringing an estimated $615 million in investment and 862 new jobs over the next 20 years, aided by a post-performance tax incentive from the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity.[KSL.com] Utah Business notes that statewide unemployment recently ticked up to about 3.4% but remains notably below the national rate, signaling a softening but still comparatively strong labor market.[Utah Business]
On the community front, the Canyons School District Board summary shows the district budgeting about $5 million in pay-as-you-go capital projects, including major upgrades to Jordan High’s baseball and softball facilities, new lighting, HVAC and boiler improvements at multiple schools, better emergency radio systems, playground resurfacing, and new quick-activate classroom door locks in seven elementary schools to bolster safety.[Canyons School District]
Weather remains a major talking point. KUTV and KSL’s forecasts describe a pattern of valley rain and mountain snow in northern Utah, with generally minor travel impacts but higher-elevation accumulation in the Cottonwoods and Bear River Range.[KUTV][KSL Weather] The Cool Down, citing KUER and the Salt Lake Tribune, reports that Utah has just come through its warmest November on record and that December temperatures in the Wasatch Front are running far above normal, raising concerns for snowpack and long-term water supplies.[The Cool Down]
Looking ahead, forecasters at KUTV and KSL anticipate a stronger storm system around December 24–25 that could finally bring more widespread valley rain and mountain snow, while political observers expect continued legal and legislative maneuvering over Utah’s redistricting and possible changes to the state Supreme Court.[KUTV][SU News]
