@HollyontheHill Also I’m pretty sure the category “United States Local Government” is the least popular book category out there, but I’ll still gladly take that #1 New Release ranking. #utpol

Debating which new @SpencerJCox book to buy on Amazon.

This is gonna be great! Governor Cox has been a leading voice of decency, sanity, and grace in American politics. We really need this book. (And i'll say that in the forward I'm going to write for it)

Today Penguin Press announced my new book, Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt. I’ve been working on this project for a few years. It’s about something I think a lot of us feel. We’re losing the ability to disagree without seeing each other as enemies. There has to be a better way, and this book is my attempt to find it. It isn’t easy. And I don’t always get it right. But I think it’s worth trying. I know my mom will read it (and I hope you will too). More here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827061/o…

We’re proud to announce Off Ramp by Utah Governor @SpencerJCox —a timely, practical guide to depolarization that shows us how to disagree better, whether at the dinner table, online, or in the arena of American politics. Preorder now: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827061/o…

First in @politico: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox’s book OFF RAMP out Sept 8

A new @DeseretNews & Hinckley Institute of Politics survey finds 67% of Utahns reported at least some degree of confidence in the state’s colleges and universities, compared to 42% nationally. #HigherEdLiftsUtah #UtEd

And this right here, what just happened in Indiana, is why making an example of the Jazz was a short-sighted decision/slippery slope. 1) Zubac returns to action from extended time off, plays heavy 1H minutes. Looks good scoring 8 PTS (4-6 FG). 2) Nembhard drops 23 PTS (!) in the 1H in just 17 mins. They both disappear at halftime, and dont play a single 2H second in what was a respectably close game for a majority of it. Pacers (a team with losing incentive) lose. Sound familiar? The franchise comms team will likely issue an injury management explanation to avoid the eye of Secaucus Sauron/refute the imminent tanking allegations. Is it possible both players got sore in the locker room/hurt in the first half? Sure, I guess. The point here is that by fining the Jazz for conduct detrimental to the league, NOT (⬅️) a Player Participation Policy violation, your games are now going to be under the microscope in the event this type of starter rotation activity occurs again. You can’t just fine one franchise and hang their reputation from a tree to scare the other citizens from replicating the same behavior. That selective enforcement is what put you in the spotlight originally, because Jaren Jackson Jr./Lauri Markkanen ended up either getting surgery or having a legitimate hip injury keeping them out for the foreseeable future. Nembhard/Zubac may end up experiencing something similar to JJJ/Markkanen, they may not, but the inconsistent enforcement WITHOUT knowing their personal medical records is reflective of a business that only steps in when the seat gets hot. The Jazz ended up winning some of those games they were so highly scrutinized for. The Pacers lost tonight. This alone does not justify penalizing the Pacers, because Micah Potter was trying to win just as much as Brice Sensabaugh was for Utah. Players dont tank. If you’re not going to fine the Pacers for this tonight, then just give the Jazz governors their $500,000 back, because this hypocrisy is what’s damaging the league reputation more than the integrity of the game.

Utah State assistant Eric Haut tells the players that he’ll be the next head coach at Tarleton State and they go NUTS 👏🥺

from countless memories, buckets, 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 moments and the endless love showed to UT🖤H, you'll always have our love and respect 🫡 forever a Jazzman, welcome back, Sixx 💜 #TakeNote

One of these games in the last month vs the Heat led to a $500,000 fine for tanking. Can you guess which?

@RobertGehrke Fixed.

@joncox435 Paul was right. :(

Omitting the word “taxes” in the headline definitely changes the tone of this piece @sltrib.

SLC’s relationship to the mountains is what people who’ve never been to Denver imagine Denver is like.

@parttimepolpaul You mean Cutlerville.

On behalf of the Tribune Editorial Board, I'd like to apologize to all the good citizens of the great city of Centerville 😅
