48:54Now PlayingThis week in Utah politics: dark money, taxpayer funded PR campaign and a massive homeless campus.
• Mega “service campus” for the homeless near SLC airport () 16 acres, up to 1,300 beds, involuntary commitments, forced treatment. Civil liberties alarms vs. “we have to do something.” Cox does damage control via a friendly outlet, swatting Nazi comparisons.
• House PR machine on your dime () Speaker Schultz’s glossy videos produced by a paid outside firm (Northbound Strategy ~$6k/month, ＞$215k since ’23). Posted first to his personal accounts, then amplified by official channels. ROI? Shrug. Alsohis video flirting with threats against the judge.
• Dark money creeps local () National Liberty Champions PAC drops into an Alpine school board race. The Mike Lee orbitThomas Datwyler (treasurer), Dan Hauser (L4 Consulting, lives indistrict)connects the dots. Same network fueled attacks in UT2 primary via Constitutional Conservatives PAC.
• Ogden City Council shenanigans () Candidate takes ~$15k from “Taxpayers PAC,” blowing past $1,500 limits. Money traceAZ Christian nationalist pastor/funder → PAC → candidate → consultant. The consultant? He set up the PAC routing the cash back to himself. Illegal overage likely returned.
• Conspiracy-to-policy pipeline: Gold-as-currency schemes pushed by fringe “experts,” and yes—another chemtrails bill incoming.
Heads up: Election Day is Tuesday. If your ballot’s still on the counter, fix that.
Tip JarThis political hellscape doesn't document itself. Throw some cash in the tip jar () and help me keep calling out the BS without having to sell my soul to corporate overlords.
