AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Colorado River Watch: Lake Powell hit a record low, just days after Lake Mead’s historic drop, putting Utah and the rest of the basin’s water and hydropower at risk as states and the feds haggle over a long-term plan. Election Rules: A new poll finds Utah voters strongly back proof of citizenship and photo ID requirements tied to Sen. Mike Lee’s SAVE America Act. Public Safety Tech: Davis County commissioners approved an accord for license plate reader use with Utah’s Department of Public Safety, reigniting debate over how ALPR data gets shared and limited. Justice Department: AG Todd Blanche says DOJ could ask the Supreme Court to intervene in cases over federal access to state voter rolls. Defense & Drones: The U.S. Army opened test ranges to private drone firms, including Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, easing a major bottleneck for smaller contractors. Local Government & Community: Centro Civico Mexicano is pursuing a $27M replacement facility in Salt Lake City’s Depot District. Economy & Courts: Utah-based Rebel Creamery filed for Chapter 11 after a $23.8M packaging ruling tied to a dispute with Van Leeuwen. Gov. Schedule/Commemoration: Gov. Spencer Cox’s public schedule runs Aug. 17–21, while Nevada ordered flags half-staff for Utah-linked helitack pilot Christopher V. Andersen. Crash: One person died and four were hospitalized after a single-vehicle crash on I-80 near Aragonite in Tooele County.
