Hello, friends. Due to recent staffing cuts at KUER & PBS Utah, we'll no longer be actively posting to X.

There are plenty of ways to stay connected to KUER 👇

Even with the changes, KUER and PBS Utah are "here to stay" and we'll continue to serve Utah and follow our public service mission of rigorous journalism and public engagement. https://t.co/NdcowtWbpQ

Governors from the Colorado River states, including Utah, met today in DC 👇

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

I want to thank @SecretaryBurgum for hosting today’s historic and productive meeting, and I thank all the governors for joining in this constructive conversation. I leave today hopeful that we’ll avoid the path of litigation. No one wins going down that path.

Utah has already contributed significant resources to the long-term sustainability of the Colorado River, and we remain part of the coalition of the willing. I still have faith that an agreement can be reached. Our chief negotiators now have their marching orders: make a deal and make it soon.
