We know Utah's two busiest airports are in prime wildlife habitat, which puts planes in conflict with birds, etc. So... Why did the feds recently pour $$$$$ into revitalizing more habitat — and potentially attracting more birds — near the Provo Airport? https://t.co/KTgKVmXjoo

Also, today is the NBA draft lottery - stay tuned on that with coverage from @andyblarsen. One of UT’s costliest bird strikes involved a plane carrying the Jazz in 2021 - and the second most dangerous bird for UT flights also has an NBA connection 👀 https://t.co/aNanNxCdan

Utah and Great Salt Lake are perfect bird habitat. Their shores are also home to Utah's *two* busiest airports. And we know birds and planes don't mix. @jordanrmillerr and I recently learned A LOT about the Sisyphean battle for clear skies and runways: https://t.co/pY9kFY0YnB

Thinking of buying flowers for Mother's Day? Or flowers at any time? Let me introduce you to local flower farming. I spent a lovely (read also: fragrant) morning at the Utah Flower Market this week, and here's what I learned about the pros of buying local https://t.co/ZbKc8arSYr

If you've noticed a recent fall off in quality from the Sundance catalog, you're not alone. Designers say the company owes them millions, as it appears to stray from its core values. Here's what I know about those issues and its plans for the future: https://t.co/gs5jUTdGnO

For the last year, designers say the Sundance catalog they know/love has changed for the worse, straying from its values as it seemed to struggle financially. Can it bounce back? The designers who made their name selling products within it sure hope so https://t.co/gs5jUTeedm

Would like to state for the record that this is my official position on the Oklahoma City Thunder: https://t.co/jBB0WvifHe

Utah’s prisons had a mail contraband problem. Pigeonly, a Nevada-based company, said they could fix it. In turn, Utah agreed to give them as much as $1.7M over the next 5 years. When the program began in January, concerns quickly piled up. Is it working? https://t.co/HLMUzEdhFf

Since 2022, lawmakers have given money to reimburse police for forensic strangulation exams, meant to document the signs a DV victim was choked even when they aren't outwardly apparent. This year, lawmakers didn't re-up funding. Here's what's at stake: https://t.co/VvFu7isZm8

The officer had followed another into grass that towered over them. He carried a flash light in one hand, a gun in the other. He raised the gun — firing into the grass before his hands met to stabilize his aim “Oh s---,” he yelled. Beyond, the man he shot repeated, “He shot me.”

A SLCPD officer who seemed to accidentally shoot a man he could not see was not charged. This case taught me something new: Utah officers are exempt from the state's felony discharge of a firearm charge https://t.co/FswVftxREn
