November statewide special election for collective bargaining referendum ‘not off the table,' Cox says
SALT LAKE CITY () — Governor Spencer Cox is mulling whether to call a special statewide election this November that would allow Utahns to vote on repealing that bans public labor unions from collective bargaining. 'It's not off the table,' . 'We could have a special election this year, it's still possible.' During a monthly news conference with reporters, the Governor was asked about whether he would call a special election in 2025 or hold off until Utah has a scheduled statewide election in 2026. State law requires the referendum to be placed on a statewide ballot, but state law allows him to decide whether that's in the 'next regular general election' or whether he calls a special election. The Governor said he's still having conversations with the legislature and county clerks who would be tasked with overseeing a statewide election in a municipal year, to analyze the cost and other factors like whether it's a burden to cities that may cancel elections in 2025. 'Just trying to see what's best — is it best to get it on now and get it over with, is that easier? Is it too much pressure on places that won't be having an election?' Cox said. 'What kind of burden with that add? We're looking at all of those things, and we'll make a decision when that deadline gets closer.' Utah lawmakers oppose AI regulation in Trump's 'Big, beautiful bill' The Governor has until June 21 to make that call; that's when the Lt. Governor declares whether the referendum signature gathering effort was sufficient, which is all but certain after public labor unions . The office has from taking effect. 'No matter when this issue appears on the ballot, we are confident that when Utah voters decide, public workers will win. We are strong, ready, and united,' said a spokesperson for the Protect Utah Workers coalition — the group of labor unions that organized the referendum effort. 'The HB267 referendum made history with nearly 10% of Utahns signing the petition in just 30 days to put it on the ballot. Our success sends a powerful message: Utahns believe in the right to organize and stand with public workers,' their statement said. 'HB267 is a power grab by politicians trying to silence the voices of everyday working people. But more than a quarter million Utah voters saw through it and pushed back.' Neither the public labor unions nor Governor Cox elaborated on which year they would prefer, but it's almost certain that politics are at play for both sides. 'Somebody has to stop it:' Gov. Cox defends Trump's decision to deploy troops to LA Political insiders have told that holding a special election in 2025 could favor the law staying in place because turnout is lower in a municipal year, meaning there might be less support overall for the teachers, firefighters, and the other public workers whom voters, by and large, want to support. However, a recency bias from this past legislative session and the momentum from their signature gathering efforts, coupled with perceived injustices to those public workers, may also be a factor, those insiders noted. A 2025 election also gets the issue decided on faster. However, paying for a statewide election would come at a cost to taxpayers, likely in the millions. A 2026 election, however, could be the preferred path as it gives both sides more time to message and raise more money to fight off any counter-messaging.

Fire officials stress the importance of taking proper precautions in the heat
SALT LAKE CITY () — From spending the day in the sun to hiking and working up a sweat in hot temperatures, fire officials emphasize the importance of taking proper safety precautions in the heat. As temperatures continue to rise each summer, first responders say awareness and prevention are more important than ever. Whether it's a hike in the mountains or an afternoon in the sun, the risk for heat-related illness climbs as the temperature climbs. 'Heat exposure and people just being tired from being out in the environment is what we mostly see,' Jahn Davis, Paramedic with Unified Fire Authority said. In the last five years, 47 Utahns have died from heat-related illnesses, including dehydration and heat stroke, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services says. 'Getting dehydrated is easy to do in these hot summer months so the key thing we want to focus on is what was that person doing before we got there,' Davis said. RELATED: Increased risk for heat-related illnesses and deaths as temperatures rise: Data Davis, a paramedic for Unified Fire Authority, shared how they treat heat-related calls, saying every second counts. 'We'll just get them in the back of the ambulance and start cooling them with air conditioning and ice packs and take some of their clothes off so they can start to cool down rapidly,' Davis said. Unified Fire spokesperson Kelly Bird says heat illness is on a spectrum. 'If someone is exhibiting some of the symptoms of a heat emergency, get them into a cool area whether that be a shade or an air-conditioned facility. If they have extra layers of clothing on, open up their shorts or take their shoes off, or cool fluids or an ice pack on their head or their armpits,' Bird said. There are two kinds of heat illness. The less severe one, heat exhaustion, requires ice packs and fluids. 'Drink lots of water, always carry water with you, and don't forget sunscreen,' Bird said. The more severe one is heat stroke, and fire officials said it can be deadly, and their treatment methods become more aggressive. 'We always treat what we see in the airway, breathing, and circulation. And we assess if there's any trauma related to being out in the environment,' Davis said. Victim's family reacts to convicted killer being ruled competent to be executed Davis said protocols also evolve, based on research and best practices. 'We have a medical doctor over each EMT and paramedic. They look at the research and develop treatment protocols based on what works best overall,' Davis said. Preparation is the best defense against the heat. 'Stay hydrated, wear a hat, or bring an umbrella. We always tell hikers to have water, an extra change of clothes, and be prepared, especially if you're going into the backcountry,' Davis said. Fire officials say never hesitate to call 911 if someone shows signs of heat illness because you just might save a life.
