From @fox13 @ 9: Redistricting is done, but prepare for a potential lawsuit AND a ballot initiative: fox13now.com/news/local-new… #utpol #Utah
.@BBforUT is just getting warmed up. They've been fundraising for their new PAC and I'm told it is already doing fine.

They will target lawmakers who opposed independent redistricting AND are planning a ballot initiative: fox13now.com/news/local-new… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Tonight, @BradWilsonGOP told me he anticipates someone may file a lawsuit over the redistricting process. BUT he is confident that it will withstand any court challenge: fox13now.com/news/local-new… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
On a ballot initiative over redistricting, @BBforUT's Katie Wright told me it's "repeal and replace."

"We’ve had that in our back pocket for some time. Of course we can’t file it until after the maps are adopted."

I’m at a Veterans Day ceremony at @UUtah where @GovCox and @SenatorRomney are speaking. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Last year's ceremony could not be held because of #COVID19, so they are showing a video to the crowd of last year's honorees. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
The crowd is giving a standing ovation to this year's honorees. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

OK, the Senate just PASSED bail reform, sending it to @GovCox for his signature.

They also just PASSED the revised state school board map (also going to @GovCox) and are now debating the Senate map. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
The House chimes are going off so they're coming back into session. They've still got some bills to blast through, including #COVID19 vaccine exemptions.

The #utleg is going all night, kids! @fox13 #utpol #Utah
In the Senate, @Mskriebe just tried to substitute a @UtahRedistrict map.

It failed, but @JStuartAdams stumbled and said he ruled it passed.

Sen. Riebe graciously corrected him that her own motion failed. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

HAPPENING NOW: The Utah Senate is now taking up the @DixieState name change bill. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@mikemckellutah urges support for the bill.

@DonnieIpson says the name "Dixie was already used to identify the area."

He says locals want to keep it.

"The idea of ripping away the name of their school is indeed heartwrenching."

@fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@DonnieIpson asks Senate to vote no.

Sen. Johnson says he will vote no, says the president of @DixieState has been telling people "we're going to be Utah Tech University."

"Is it really right for us to broadcast to students across the state, this now the tech university?"

The House is now taking up the State School Board map.

There's a substitute. It PASSES. This is the new map.

Rep. Ray says they fixed a Davis Co. boundary issue. @fox13 #utpol #Utah Davis Co. boundaries shifted.
.@JoelMFerry says a theme that came out of the redistricting committee meeting is that "school boards mattered."

He urges support for the map. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@jenforutah asks "which map is this?"

"This is the one I'm sure you like," Rep. Ray jokes.

She asks for more context (and we are on MAP NUMBER SEVEN)! @fox13 #utpol #Utah
