Utah County

Thank you very much.

Where is it going to be? Utah County.

Now, we had a Utah County office in Orem pre-pandemic, pre-COVID, but the lease was coming up for renewal.

And with COVID, we just let the lease lapse because COVID shut the travel industry down for a couple of years.

Well, we're back and going.

And Friday and Saturday, January 22nd, 23rd, at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy.

And the next day, January 24th, where am I going? Of course, I'm going to Thailand and Cambodia with my annual group.

So keep in mind, early October... a Morris Columbus travel in Utah County in Pleasant Grove, and October 17th, the Utah Travel Expo at the Davis Conference.

This article was authored by Jessica Shrifles.

It's been a year since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, and Utah County has so far paid $1.6 million to the public defenders who represent the man accused of pulling the trigger.

And the criminal case is far from over.

And I know that's a hard pill for people to swallow.

So of course it's going to cost a ton of money.

The county has already exhausted the $1 million earmarked to help pay for the Tyler Robinson's defense.

The rest has come from its public defense budget or a rainy day fund, Utah County Commissioner Skylar Beltran said.

And this is going to continue to be an issue.

And I think what was cool was, hey... you can come to Provo and party and have a fun time the BYU way.

And it just kind of coincided with Utah County and Provo and BYU.

Like, yes, college football is different at BYU than other places around the country.

And, and I thought that's just it.

They're having what they're called First Down Provo.

I had a great chat with Utah County Commissioner Skyler Beltran about what they're building with it, and I am going to do a live show from there.

I'm going to be hanging out.

I'll probably do it early on because the event goes from 6 to 9.

That's where he turned himself in because the lawyer he named was practicing in Washington County.

He wasn't practicing in Utah County.

He, he wasn't from Utah County.

That's four hours away.

Why would he say, "I'm looking for a lawyer here"? Then he says, "My parents are trying to get in touch with him.

Northbound I-15 approaching Bangor Highway.

But again, you're not going to run into too many slowdowns on your way into Salt Lake from Utah County.

Pretty much completely cleared up, but Banker Highway, still some scattered delays from 4100 south up to the 201 freeway.

Eastbound on the 201 freeway, also really easing out now, but northbound I-215's west belt, that transition ramp to go east on the 201 is pretty full.

Northbound I-15, still pretty congested at the South Interchange, but that's the only slow spot you see.

Maybe a little bit, actually, as you approach 13th South as well.

But looking pretty good on your way into Salt Lake from Utah County.

Westbound Pioneer Crossing, though, really hasn't let up all morning between Redwood Road and Mountain View Corridor.

Okay.

Basically the Utah County area.

Right.

Father was a logger.

Got some light northbound I-15 delays at Bangor Highway.

Also at 106 South, but not too slow as you come in from Utah County to Salt Lake County.

Where it is slow is westbound Pioneer Crossing.

That's our heaviest delay.
