Senator John McCain returned to the Senate Floor after being diagnosed with brain cancer to deliver an important message, about how our government should work.
This is not exactly local, but I felt like it ought to be shared.

2016 primary election results
Results from this years primary election can be found at:
http://electionresults.utah.gov/
As many counties used vote by mail this year, many of the results will not be finalized until July 12. current results likely indicate who will win the race, but until the election results have been finalized, anything could theoretically happen.
Here is the note from electionresults.utah.gov about this:

Here is the note from electionresults.utah.gov about this:
The results displayed on this website are not final results, but are posted as a service to the public. Final Primary Election results will be certified by each county by July 12 and by the Lieutenant Governor on July 26.
Because the majority of voters now vote by mail, counties do not count all votes on election night. By mail ballots postmarked on time and received after the election are not included in the election night results but are included in later releases. Provisional ballots are also checked and counted during the two week period following the election.
Beginning in 2016, counties will release results after election night. After the Primary Election, this website will be updated between 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on:
Friday, July 1
Tuesday, July 5

State School Board
The best resource available so far is from the Sutherland Institute. They sent a questionnaire to each of the candidates and they have posted the responses they have received thus far. The candidates are not sorted by district, but there is a nice index at the top of the page.
The information they have compiled can be found HERE:
The United Way has put together a handy contact guide for this years election.
You can find it HERE. We have a few different resources (and quite a few similar ones) that we have gathered listed below. A survey was also sent out by Utah for Local Education. This group clearly has strong feelings about the type of candidate they would like to see elected, but their survey questions are not particularly biased. Their survey can be seen HERE (not all candidates responded).
