In state government, lawmakers just wrapped a contentious special session focused on elections and labor policy. According to the Utah Senate, the legislature met in December to clarify election procedures and reaffirm its authority over redistricting after recent court rulings introduced uncertainty into the process, including changes to candidate filing deadlines and a joint resolution asserting legislative control over district maps.[Utah Senate] Governor Spencer Cox has now signed key special‑session bills, including Election Amendments and Appellate Court Jurisdiction Amendments, cementing those changes into law.[Office of Gov. Cox]
At the same time, the legislature reversed course on a major labor issue. Axios reports that in the special session lawmakers repealed this year’s ban on collective bargaining for many public employees, walking back House Bill 267 after strong opposition from teachers, police, firefighters, and other unions, and a possible 2026 ballot fight.[Axios]
Utah politics also saw a rare third‑party development. The Standard‑Examiner reports that the Forward Party used a first‑of‑its‑kind preference poll to select Emily Buss to replace retiring Sen. Dan Thatcher in District 11, making her poised to become the legislature’s only third‑party member once Governor Cox finalizes the appointment.[Standard‑Examiner] Republican leaders say they will not challenge her seating but plan a strong GOP challenge in 2026.[Standard‑Examiner]
Economically, Utah remains one of the country’s growth leaders. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says nonfarm payroll employment in Utah rose by about 29,700 jobs from September 2024 to September 2025, a 1.7 percent increase that ranks among the strongest gains nationally.[U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics] Business Facilities and other economic development sources continue to highlight Utah’s diverse, fast‑growing economy and young workforce as key advantages.[Business Facilities]
In community and education news, TechBuzz News reports that the Utah State Board of Education is rolling out a new artificial intelligence curriculum for middle schoolers by 2026, developed with teacher Erum Naz and industry partners to make AI literacy a standard part of public education.[TechBuzz News] This reflects a broader push to align schools with emerging tech skills.
Weather has been unusually warm and dry. ABC4 Utah’s meteorologists note that a strong high‑pressure ridge is keeping temperatures well above normal in December, with 50s along the Wasatch Front, record‑challenging warmth in the south, and building inversion haze and air‑quality concerns along the urban corridor.[ABC4 Utah] KSL Weather adds that any incoming storm next week is expected to be modest, bringing limited valley rain and mountain snow because of the persistent warmth.[KSL Weather] KSL also reports that the entire West, including Utah, is off to its slowest snowpack start in at least 25 years, raising early worries about water supplies if the pattern continues.[KSL]
Looking ahead, listeners should watch how Utah’s new redistricting stance plays out in the courts, how the repeal of the public‑sector bargaining ban shapes labor relations, whether Emily Buss’s appointment boosts third‑party visibility, and if late‑season storms can rescue a sluggish snow year.
