Pretty clear that Utahns want data centers that:
1) Pay their own way
2) Use clean energy
3) Are water positive

Biggest opposition for fossil gas & nuclear powered data centers (which is most of what we see)

LAM for Curtis. Called Lee and Kennedy (all R-UT).

re: misuse of taxpayer funds.

Those “bribes” for senior Medicare/ACA recipients? First you republicans rescind ACA subsidies, make cuts to Medicaid in the OBBB?

Then along comes Trump, sending $90 or $500 checks? Just before election?

#utpol

Omh. Would a Utahn please post this on x?

Our entire delegation needs to see this.

Maybe they have and don’t care?

WITAF are we doing?

My god.

I urge all voters to contact their “reps” who are home campaigning.

Specifically ask about the Trump bribes ($500 and $90-depending on recipients), and taxpayer funded (he says they’re PSAs) political ads.

Already appropriated funds must be spent on the purpose to which they were intended.

Auditor sees wrong

Trump lackey fires him

One can’t question the billionaires’ offshore tax shelters.

Repeat this across entire agencies within this administration.
