Salt Lake City's developing a surveillance hub for law enforcement to monitor live streams from drones, Vigilant automatic license plate readers, and other shadowy tech. Centralizing this data would make it even easier to track anyone in Utah regardless of whether they've been suspected of a crime.

Police drones buzzing across SLC feed a new high-tech crime center. The picture threatens to ‘flip’ civil liberties, a key group says.
As Salt Lake City police develop a real-time crime center at downtown headquarters, civil rights advocates are warning of its threats to privacy.

Fine. A reminder, health experts explicitly warn against permanent Daylight Saving Time. Our bodies are hardwired to morning light to regulate our circadian rhythms. Forcing permanent DST means waking up in dark winters, causing chronic sleep deprivation, metabolic issues, & heart risks. NO TO DST.

In an email to residents, Millcreek says it intends to appeal a state air quality permit granted to a mining operation in Parley's Canyon... #utpol #Utah
Millcreek Continues to Fight the Proposed Parley’s Canyon Gravel Mine

MILLCREEK.  Millcreek is disappointed by the Division of Air Quality’s recent approval of the permit for the proposed mining operation in Parleys Canyon. Mayor Cheri Jackson and the City Council directed the city attorney to work with outside counsel and experts to pursue an appeal of the approval. 

The Canyon Rim and Mount Olympus areas of Millcreek would be among the communities most directly impacted by fugitive dust blowing out of Parleys Canyon by this mining operation before it affects the broader Salt Lake Valley.

Millcreek stands ready to pursue all measures available to protect our residents and community, while recognizing that the prospects for successfully stopping the project at this stage may be limited.
