| What Salt Lake's Talking About |
| | Thousands of Utah Voters Must Verify Citizenship | Under a new state law, more than 5,000 Utah voters will need to provide proof of citizenship, or they’ll only be allowed to vote in federal races. State officials say at least 2,000 of those voters are elderly Utahns who registered decades ago, before IDs like driver licenses or social security numbers were required for voter registration. [Utah News Dispatch] | | What Was Burning Near the GSL? | If you saw giant clouds of black smoke west of Salt Lake this week, it was actually a controlled burn targeting phragmites. This invasive plant sucks up water from the Great Salt Lake and crowds out bird habitats. [Salt Lake Tribune] | | Could Power Shutoffs Prevent Wildfires? | Rocky Mountain Power may temporarily shut off electricity in high-risk areas this summer to help prevent wildfires as Utah heads into its hot and dry season. The utility company says it will monitor weather conditions closely and aims to give customers at least 48 hours notice before any planned public safety power shutoffs. [FOX 13] |
