このコンテンツについて
The Utah Legislature has announced plans to appeal a new congressional redistricting map to the state Supreme Court, with Governor Spencer Cox calling a special session for December 9th to discuss the matter. The Legislature is challenging a judge's decision that required them to redraw the congressional map after their original version was deemed non-compliant with state law. Legislative leaders say they remain committed to resolving the underlying constitutional questions about the separation of powers between the Legislature and ballot initiatives.
On the weather front, winter conditions have arrived in earnest. After Sunday's snowstorm dropped up to ten inches across the Wasatch Mountains, another similar system is moving in Tuesday into Wednesday with four to nine inches expected at higher elevations. However, snowpack conditions remain concerning, with the Snowbird monitoring station reporting just twenty-six percent of normal snow water equivalent for this time of year. Despite recent precipitation, northern Utah continues to lag significantly behind typical winter accumulation.
The state is also grappling with a measles outbreak that has grown to over one hundred confirmed cases as of late November. Utah now ranks among the largest outbreak zones in the nation, with twenty-four cases reported just in the last three weeks. State health officials attribute the spread to low vaccination rates, misinformation, and distrust in medical institutions. Eleven people have been hospitalized, though all cases have been relatively minor so far, with no deaths recorded in Utah.
Meanwhile, several seasonal mountain roads have closed for winter. East Canyon or state Route 65 became the sixth seasonal road to shut down on December 1st, joining Guardsman Pass and American Fork Canyon in seasonal closure. The Mirror Lake Highway through the Uintas does not yet have an announced closing date.
In community development, Salt Lake City celebrated the completion of the first GO Bond project with the opening of the Backman Community Open Space. The two-acre park near Backman Elementary features new playground areas, outdoor learning spaces, and pathways along the Jordan River.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for the Legislature's December 9th special session and monitor ongoing measles case developments as winter weather patterns continue influencing the state's snowpack situation heading into the critical season for water resources.
