- ➤ Ogden City Council candidate Kevin Lundell said he wants to slow down rapid economic development so the city can spend more on parks, sidewalks and basic services.

- ➤ Plaintiffs filed a complaint on Tuesday alleging that lawmakers overstepped their power by passing SB1011 after voting on a congressional map, and they urged Judge Dianna Gibson to block the law as she picks a new map by Nov. 10—claiming it violates Proposition 4 by using an improper partisan test.

- ➤ Plaintiffs in a redistricting lawsuit asked a judge to block a new law passed in special session today—saying the bill, SB1011, undermines the voter-approved independent redistricting rules of Proposition 4.
