Will this be the year The Point finally goes vertical? John Rogers Salt Lake Business Journal It’s been more than 10 years since the name “The Point” was first applied to the nearly 600 acres in the southern end of Salt Lake County where the aging Utah State Prison would make way for a major planned community and innovation hub. Officials say this will be the year when the development will start to rise from the ground. Since the prison’s relocation began in 2022 following the construction of a new facility near Salt Lake City International Airport, a lot of organization, planning and ground-level infrastructure placement has taken place at The Point in Draper. But folks couldn’t see much happening because the construction that has taken place is mostly underground or at street level. That’s all about to change. “Now, following years of thoughtful planning and rapid infrastructure development over the past 14 months, The Point is poised to transition to vertical
construction, delivering on the vision established by the Legislature, the board and tens of thousands of Utahns,” the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority (POMSLA), the successor to the Point of the Mountain Development Commission that the Legislature created in 2015, said in a recent statement. “Throughout 2026, foundations will be excavated and poured, streets paved and public spaces begin to take shape. The Point is moving from preparation to delivery and is well positioned to advance the next chapter of this generational project for the benefit of all Utahns.” Over the signatures of POMSLA cochairs V. Lowry Snow and Rep. Jordan Teuscher, R-South Jordan, a statement said that since 2018, the board and staff have diligently worked to fulfill the Legislature’s mandate to plan, manage and implement the development of state land at the Point of the Mountain. They said the mandate includes “guiding strategic residential and commercial growth, maximizing the creation of high-quality jobs, supporting a highly trained workforce, facilitating vibrant urban centers and hous-
ing options aligned with workforce needs, and creating parks, connected trails, open space and recreational opportunities, among other priorities.” Snow and Teuscher quoted a study by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah that found the state’s investment in The Point is expected to support the creation of approximately 46,458 jobs and generate more than $7 billion in GDP by 2048. With earthwork, site preparation, utilities and streets partially completed in the past year, The Point expects to see a number of buildings get underway in 2026. “Foundations will be poured, streets and utilities finalized and the first vertical buildings will rise from the site,” The Point’s release said. “This phase of active construction signals continued momentum toward a new center of community, innovation and opportunity.” Among projects expected to see construction this year are: • A 5,000-seat entertainment venue. see THE POINT page 2

Miller Sports & Entertainment announces partnership with SME Industries
Sandy-based Miller Sports & Entertainment (MSE) has announced a new partnership with SME Industries Inc. (SME). The Salt Lake City steel fabricator will join MSE in community-driven experiences and initiatives centered on local sports and entertainment across MSE’s soccer operations, including Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC; Salt Lake Bees baseball team; and the Megaplex movie theater operations. “We are thrilled to partner with SME Industries across Miller Sports & Entertainment properties,” said Ty Wardle, chief revenue officer for MSE. “Sports at their best unite communities, and through this partnership, we will continue to serve and enrich lives in our great state, while providing best-in-class experiences and memories for our fans and guests.” SME has long-standing ties to the Larry H. Miller organization and has been a part of the Delta Center construction and recon-
struction over the years. SME’s impact is felt throughout Utah, where the company focuses on commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects, helping create community assets and gathering places, a MSE release said. “Our work has always been about building what lasts. Through our partnership with Miller Sports & Entertainment, we’re extending that commitment beyond the jobsite and into the community,” said Landon Moyes, CEO and president of SME. “Together, we’ll use the reach of sports and entertainment to create meaningful opportunities and unforgettable experiences across Utah.” SME will be the first-ever presenting lower-jersey-back logo partner for the Utah Royals FC. SME will also be the presenting sponsor for the annual Commanders Cup, a soccer tournament for military members, hosted by Real Salt Lake at Zions Bank
THE POINT
the project is already attracting interest from a diverse mix of industries, including technology, financial services, biotechnology and education. • Multifamily housing. Several apartment and condominium projects are expected to be announced, with construction beginning this year. The origins of The Point trace back to 2014, when Utah lawmakers began evaluating the relocation of crumbling Utah State Prison to make room for higher-value land use in the fast-growing Silicon Slopes region. In 2015, the Utah Legislature passed HB454, which authorized the relocation of the prison and created the Point of the Mountain Development Commission to guide planning for the area’s future. In 2018, HB372 established the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority, charged with overseeing the redevelopment and ensuring that the project serves long-term public interests in sustainability, innovation, transportation and quality of life. Planning accelerated after the prison’s relocation began in 2022 and the old facility was razed. The Utah Legislature and private investors have engaged in a phased approach to infrastructure and land preparation, with early investments focusing on roads, transit connectivity and environmental cleanup. Public-private partnerships are central to the project’s financing, aiming to attract technology firms, life sciences companies and sustainable urban innovation. Full buildout is expected to unfold over several decades.

The POMSLA expects the arena to play a central role in bringing the site to life early in the development. Designed as a flexible, multi-use facility, it will host live touring acts, corporate gatherings, conferences and large community events, including sports tournaments. With adaptable seating, modern production capabilities and integrated amenities, the venue is positioned to attract regional and national programming, the board said. • The Point Promenade. More than 5,500 linear feet of walkable streets and plazas will shape the downtown core of The Point. Lined with trees, public art, active storefronts, outdoor dining areas and social gathering spaces, the project expects The Promenade to foster a pedestrian-friendly environment that remains active throughout the day and into the evening. Current leasing interest features a mix of notable retailers and popular food and beverage concepts. • Office and professional space. Over 30,000 square feet of Class A office space is planned to rise in 2026, marking one of the first opportunities for employers to locate at The Point. Situated prominently along The Promenade, this workspace will feature high-quality design, walkable access to dining and retail and proximity to public spaces that support collaboration and employee well-being. Officials said
Training Center and America First Field. SME will also be the title night sponsor for the Real Salt Lake vs. Inter Miami CF match on April 22. America First Field is constructing a temporary seating structure to accommodate the increased ticket demand. Construction on the new SME Skyboxes structure has begun and is anticipated to be completed by the start of the Real Salt Lake season. The SME Skyboxes, located behind the north goal, have 787 seats and will remain as premium seating options for the entire 2026 season, as well as other events at America First Field. At Utah Royals FC matches, the SME Skyboxes will be used for philanthropic and community tickets. “We are excited to welcome SME Industries as a legacy partner with our clubs and America First Field,” said John Kimball, president of Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC business operations. “Soccer has
long been a power unifier in our community, spanning across generations, neighborhoods and backgrounds. This year, we’ll celebrate the sport in more ways than ever before. This partnership with SME expands those efforts, giving our incredible players and sport even more opportunities to connect with and inspire our community.” At The Ballpark at America First Square in Downtown Daybreak, home of the Salt Lake Bees, which was also fabricated and erected by SME, SME will hold the batter’s eye entitlement. The partnership will also focus on providing experiences and opportunities to underserved communities, including serving as the presenting partner for the Bees Field of Dreams youth program, supporting Junior Bees activation throughout the season, and partnering with Megaplex to donate full-theater buyouts for various community and youth-focused events.

thing else happening in the country.” Now Utah’s residents will begin to notice that it really is happening.

Salt Lake Bees partner with Swig for alternate team identity
Tom Haraldsen Salt Lake Business Journal Every time the Salt Lake Bees play a home game on a Wednesday this season, they’ll have an alternate identity. Their uniforms, hats, batting helmets and all stadium scoreboards will boast that alt name: the Utah Dirty Sodas. At a press event at The Ballpark at America First Square on Feb. 24, Bees General Manager Ty Wardle and Todd Smith, president of Swig, announced a partnership, bonding the two brands together for the 2026 season that starts in late March. The first Utah Dirty Sodas Wednesday will be April 1 versus Sacramento. “We’re very excited to launch this
alternative identity with Swig this season,” Wardle said. “Utah is known for its obsession with dirty sodas, and Swig, home of the original dirty soda, was founded here in Utah.” Swig is the Sandy-based company that operates locations in 17 states (with more than 140 shops) selling dirty sodas — non-alcoholic beverages created by mixing fountain soda with flavored syrups, creamer, and often fresh fruit. Swig Chief Marketing Officer Dylan Roeder credits the Bees’ ownership for bringing the deal together. “It’s their creative juices that made this happen,” he said. “They approached us on creating this unique idea. A marketer’s dream is to have an alternate ID in minor league baseball. It’s something truly unique
and one of a kind. Being able to see how fun and playful and community-oriented that alt IDs become was something that’s truly aspiring.” “Every Wednesday is Dirty Soda Wednesday, and it’s also Swig takeover of the stadium,” Smith said. “Three-dollar drinks at Swig, and if a batter hits the large inflatable cup over the fence in left center, then it’s free Swig for the whole stadium. And if the Dirty Sodas score four runs or more on a Wednesday, then the next day we give free Swig to the whole community. We’re trying to make it a very on-field, offfield partnership.” He added that the team will be offering a special ticket package that comes with exclusive Swig and Dirty Soda merchandise items.
The Dirty Sodas’ color scheme was inspired by Swig’s branding, Wardle said. Some of the merchandise features Swiggy, the Dirty Sodas’ mascot. Jill Marchant, chief legal and administrative officer with Swig, said the Bees took the lead on approaching league officials about the alt identity. “I think the league has actually been very good to work with and excited about a beloved sports team and a Utah homegrown brand coming together.” “It’s also the most unique partnership I’ve seen in sports,” Roeder said. “I’ve never seen a team partner with a brand to this level. It’s completely new ground that the Bees are breaking, and we got lucky that they chose us to do it with.” Tickets for the 2026 season are now on sale.
Bill related to noncompete agreements dies Brice Wallace Salt Lake Business Journal A bill that was purported to affect 95 percent of Utah workers now has a zero percent chance of passage in the current legislative general session. HB203, which would have altered the use of noncompete agreements between companies and employees, likely will be subject to further study during interim committee meetings this year. The bill had advanced out of the
House Business, Labor and Commerce Committee by a 10-3 vote, with a vow of further refinement during the general session. However, before a full House vote, the bill was sent to the House Rules Committee, which often is a legislative graveyard. Salt Lake Business Journal attempts to contact the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Tyler Clancy, R-Provo, for comment were unsuccessful. But the legislation’s status as dead for the current general session was confirmed by a speaker at the recent Salt Lake SHRM Employment Law Update in West
Jordan and by BioUtah, which said it will be referred for consideration during interim meetings “to be more acceptable to all stakeholders.” Representatives of BioUtah and the Utah Chamber were among those at the committee hearing to call for interim-period study of the bill. As passed out of committee, HB203 would have prohibited employers from enforcing a noncompete agreement (NCA) for employees earning less than $155,000, independent contractors, students, interns, workers under age 18, nonexempt (low-in-
come workers) and workers laid off by their company without getting severance. It required upfront disclosure of NCAs during a job offer, and it provided a right of action for unlawful NCAs. The bill would not have affected non-solicitation, nondisclosure, confidentiality or training repayment agreements. The sponsor and other proponents contended that NCA use had become too broad and, in some cases, harmful to employees. Some said it unnecessarily limited employee mobility or their ability to start their own companies.

SALT LAKE BUSINESS JOURNAL
WORK Daze DAZE Work I don’t know who invented AI, but they did a very good job of it. All I hear about and read about and worry about these days is AI. Really! It’s in my computer. It’s in my phone. It’s in my car. It’s in my refrigerator. It’s in my washer. It’s in my dryer. It’s in my vacuum cleaner. It’s in my brain. Is it any wonder I’m bored? Half of what I read is about how AI is going to make our lives better, unless AI destroys the earth and ends the life of every human who lives on it. This is unlikely to happen, the experts assure us, as long as no one prompts AI to do something dangerous, like manufacturing a better paper clip, which it does in the most intelligent way possible — by dropping nuclear bombs on every existing paper clip factory, so we can start over with a new AI-improved design. If AI doesn’t destroy the earth, it’s not doing much to help the writers of the world. Even a humble workplace humor columnist has seen his well-chosen, meticulously crafted columns sucked up into the AI maw and spit out onto some random website as clickbait. Of course, being so darn intelligent, the AI who performed this act of thievery was sure to surgically remove all the humor from the piece, leaving a flaccid pile of words, without any redeem-
I’m bored of AI. What’s next?

ing value to the reader, the writer or the admirable media company that paid to publish the piece in the first place. (Well, at least no nuclear bombs are falling on my writer’s atelier.
At least, not yet.) All of which brings us to the question — what comes next? I could ask AI, but I’m not sure I trust it to report on its own demise. So, I’ll take second best. I’ll ask a human. Me. AI: Artificial Intelligence. A program that performs tasks or produces output normally requiring human intelligence. BI: Bad Intelligence. A program that searches for the absolutely worst solution to any problem and insists that you try it. CI: Cat Intelligence. A program that solves problems by researching how a cat would respond to a situation and advises you to do the same. No matter how much you prompt it, Cat Intelligence will ignore you. DI: Dog Intelligence. Same as CI, but cat behavior is substituted with dog behavior. Like Cat Intelligence, Dog Intel-
ligence is unlikely to give you a useful answer, but it will lick your hand. EI: Eric Intelligence. A large language model is programmed to emulate the brain of Eric, a 12-year-old boy in Columbia City, Indiana. Eric likes Roblox, skateboarding, Nike hoodies, drones, CrunchLab, Jonas Brothers, Imagine Dragons and IU football. Be aware that when you purchase EI you have a limited time to use the program. After 12 months, Eric discovers girls and then his brain and your software go blank for the next 30 years. FI: Financial Intelligence. The money-making ideas of financial executives at every bank, brokerage and investment firm are used to produce the absolutely best single strategy to make you money. Unfortunately, the meaning of the answer provided — “strange beans rotting in the midday sun” — is not yet understood by any intelligent being or software, which renders FI somewhat less than useful. GI: Goldman Intelligence. This program comprises all the good ideas found in the “Work Daze” column since its inception, fifteen years ago. Unfortunately, no one has found a good idea in those 15 years, but we’re hopeful. HI: Not really an intelligence resource, but when prompted, HI will re-
spond with a cheery “Hi!” which, in this cold, cruel world, will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. JI: Jerk Intelligence. 500,000 GPUs are trained in every jerk move in history. From Napoleon’s ill-fated invasion of Russia in 1812 to Decca Records rejecting the Beatles in 1962, Jerk Intelligence lets the user know what not to do, before they go ahead and do it anyway. Heavy users of JI are found in the executive suite of all major corporations. XI: XI Intelligence. Specific programs not yet invented but have faith. They will arrive soon and make your life even more miserable. ZI: Zilch Intelligence. This program knows nothing. It is incapable of providing information on any subject. This makes it the perfect software to recommend for your company. With ZI, you can forget about losing your job. ZI is so useless, it actually makes you look good. Now that’s intelligence!

SALT LAKE BUSINESS JOURNAL
Leaders announce commitment to improve refining and protect water, fuel resources Becky Ginos Salt Lake Business Journal In an effort to boost the state’s fuel supply and water resources and reduce the state gas tax, state leaders and industry partners came together Feb. 23 at the Utah Capitol to sign agreements that would streamline the process. The state is also working with Idaho to find ways to provide a sustainable water supply on the Bear River system. “We’re at a critical crossroads in Utah’s energy and water future and we are choosing an abundance mindset over managing scarcity,” Gov. Spencer J. Cox said at the agreement press conference. “An abundance mindset means innovation, investment in technology and investment in people.” It is the cornerstone of Operation Gigawatt, said Cox. “Our ambitious plan to double Utah’s power production over the next few years. It means working together with industry partners to find shared solutions. Today we’re excited to announce a partnership with the petroleum industry that will help ensure affordable fuel for Utahns and will increase production and benefit our neighbors who rely on Utah’s oil and gas industry to meet their needs.” Cox said the state’s industry partners have committed to the goal of increasing refinery production by 23,500 barrels per day within the next five years. “We are investing in refinery capacity and expanding upgrades to ensure Utah grown energy stays right here in Utah. We’re investing in fuel storage developments to increase our seasonal supply and support our residents during peak demand.” Cox also announced a commitment with Idaho to collaborate on the future of the Bear River water system. “This agreement reaffirms our commitment to the Bear River Compact and Bear River Settlement Agreements.” Infrastructure and sound policy are truly the path to affordable prices, he said. “We are supporting pipelines and basin infrastructure to increase local fuel supply and production capacity at our refineries.” “Nearly a year ago, we started out with one clear goal and that was reducing gas prices at the pump for Utahns,” said House Speaker Mike Shultz, R-Hooper. “When gas prices go up, everything goes up. Groceries cost more, running a small business costs more, driving your kids to and from school, from practice, from church. It all costs more and Utah families are feeling that pressure.” Gas prices are driven by supply and demand, said Shultz. “If we want lower prices, we have to increase supply. It is simple economics.” Utah is taking action, he said. “We’re increasing the

Spencer Cox; and Rikki HrenkoBrowning, president of Utah Petroleum Association, sign the agreements in the Gold Room at the Capitol. (Becky Ginos, Salt Lake Business Journal) supply of the state through expanded production right here at the refineries, to working to bring in new pipelines here to the state of Utah and strategic storage investments that allow our refineries to operate at a full capacity year-round, bringing millions and millions of additional gallons of gasoline into our market every day.” Families don’t just live in the long term, Shultz said. “They live here and now. That’s why we’re also providing immediate relief at the pump. Beginning July 1, Utah’s gas tax will be reduced by 15 percent, putting money back into the pockets of hard-working Utahns every time they fill up.” “Just like we talked about energy, that’s only half of the equation,” said Joel Ferry, executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. “Just like we must secure our fuel, the fuel that moves our economy, we also must secure the water that sustains our lives. Water, like energy, doesn’t recognize state boundaries.” It doesn’t recognize that when it crosses that line, it’s in a different state, he said. “Today we’re proving the boundaries are not barriers to solutions. So I want to talk about the kind of agreement that we’ve reached with Ida-
ho. Two neighbors — two joined-at-the-hip states — to stop reacting to the Bear River challenges and start managing its future together.” Utah is reaffirming its commitment to the Bear River Compact, Ferry said. “If you rely on the Bear River today, this agreement is designed to protect your water security for tomorrow. We’re doubling down on our joint investment in things like cloud seeding.” This is all about the abundance mindset, he said — “using technology to actually increase the amount of water available to agriculture, to municipal and industry users.” Whether it’s the flow of fuel through the refineries or the flow of water down the Bear River, Utah is choosing to lead, said Ferry. “So I want to give a big shout-out to our partners in Idaho as well, because they’re thinking outside the box to help us come up with creative solutions and help us navigate through some of these challenges. By creating bold and innovative solutions with the petroleum industry and our neighbors in Idaho, we are ensuring Utah remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.”

FROM the THE COACH From Coach
Eulogy virtues vs. résumé virtues: What are you really optimizing for? Several years ago, I stood on Omaha Beach in Normandy. The tide was calm. The sand was quiet. But the weight of history was overwhelming. I found myself thinking not about military strategy — but about legacy. The young men who died there were not remembered for quarterly earnings, promotions or awards. They were remembered for courage, sacrifice, loyalty and love. It made me ask a question that has stayed with me ever since: “When your story is told, what will matter most?” Author and social commentator David Brooks famously described the difference between résumé virtues and eulogy virtues. Résumé virtues are the skills and accomplishments you bring to the marketplace — your degrees, titles, promotions and measurable successes. Eulogy virtues are deeper. They describe who you were: your character, integrity, generosity, humility, courage. Both matter. But most leaders are optimizing almost exclusively for one. And it’s rarely the one that will be spoken about at their funeral. Why This Matters In my coaching work with CEOs and senior executives, I’m seeing something shift. Leaders are not less ambitious, but they are more exhausted. The scoreboard never empties. The goals reset every quarter. Growth becomes the oxygen of the enterprise. But somewhere along the way, many begin to feel a quiet drift. They’ve mastered performance. But they aren’t sure they’ve mastered meaning.
We live in a time of achievement inflation. The expectations are relentless. Markets move faster. Capital moves faster. RICH Careers move fastTYSON er. Character, however, forms slowly. And if leaders are not intentional, résumé optimization quietly crowds out eulogy formation. The Core Tension: Achievement vs. Significance Achievement asks: “How much did you build?” Significance asks: “Who did you become while building it?” Achievement is visible. It can be measured, ranked and rewarded. Significance is quieter. It is revealed in how you treat people when pressure rises. It is seen in how you respond to failure. It shows up in the cultures you create and the leaders you develop. When leaders over-index on résumé virtues, certain patterns emerge: • Performance without empathy. • Growth without alignment. • Influence without depth. • Success that feels strangely hollow. But when leaders intentionally cultivate eulogy virtues, something different happens: • Cultures stabilize. • Trust compounds. • Talent flourishes. • Strategy becomes more sustainable. Ironically, when eulogy virtues strengthen, résumé outcomes quite often improve.

The reverse is not always true. What Are You Really Optimizing For? Every leader is optimizing for something, whether consciously or not. The question is not whether you are ambitious. The question is whether your ambition includes character formation. Are you developing patience while pursuing growth? Are you modeling courage while navigating uncertainty? Are you becoming more grounded while accumulating influence? This is not soft leadership. It is durable leadership. And it requires reflection. From Drift to Design In our executive retreats and coaching intensives, we often begin not with strategy, but with vision. Not market vision — personal vision. What kind of leader do you intend to become? What virtues do you want associated with your name? If those are not clearly defined, résumé forces will define your life by default. This is why articulation of your core values matters. Clarity here anchors leadership decisions in something deeper than quarterly results. It ensures that success does not slowly erode identity.
For leaders of faith, this conversation often becomes even more powerful. But it is not exclusively religious. It is fundamentally human. Because at the end of every career, the scoreboard closes. And what remains is your story. A March Question As you look at the year ahead, here is a question worth pondering: “If someone were writing your eulogy today, what would they say?” And if that answer makes you uncomfortable, what needs to change? Leadership is not just about building enterprises. It is about building a life. And in the end, you will not be remembered primarily for your résumé. You will be remembered for your character. So the question is simple: “What are you really optimizing for?”

Kiln Holladay has already attracted companies, including T-Mobile, Intuit, Penn Mutual and Assos. “Designing Kiln Holladay has been about blending form and function, offering teams an inspiring, flexible environment that reflects the natural beauty and vitality of this area,” said Leigh Radford, co-founder and creative director of Kiln. “This is our grandest location yet, and we can’t wait to see how everyone uses it.” “We believe that Kiln is the best at what they do and will be a strong anchor to the overall Holladay Hills development,” said McKinnon Woodbury, vice president of development at Woodbury Corp. “We are thrilled to have Kiln open and see them as an ambassador of Holladay Hills as we continue to bring in desired tenants to the project.” Kiln now has coworking locations across Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Utah.

SALT LAKE BUSINESS JOURNAL
Court rebukes Trump on certain tariffs Brice Wallace Salt Lake Business Journal The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Trump administration tariffs was expected, but nonetheless has left many questions unanswered. In the wake of the decision, speakers at a recent online trade and tariff briefing organized by World Trade Center Utah made a few things clear, including that tariffs aren’t going away. The 6-3 court ruling struck down tariffs the administration had imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), but the administration already has turned to other tariff tools they have available. The court decision also provided no guidance about rebates of tariffs collected illegally under the IEEPA approach. The online briefing took place minutes after the ruling. The court ruled that the White House had exceeded its authority under IEEPA. “What it means is, the IEEPA tariffs that have been applied over the last year or so were done without authority, so they were done illegally,” said Troy Keller, partner at Dorsey & Whitney. As for whether companies will receive rebates, “the very short answer is of course. If the tariffs were taken without authority, then a company should get them back. But it’s not as easy of an answer as that, of course.” The Supreme Court made it clear that the question about rebates would be determined by the Court of International Trade, he said. Some estimate that over $130 billion had been collected prior to the Supreme Court ruling. But other questions remain. President Trump has suggested that he would apply tariffs under other mechanisms, even making some of them retroactive. “That would just lead to a whole lot more chaos and litigation,” Keller said. “Still a lot to kind of ‘wait to see what happens.’” Trump had said months ago that he had backup tariff plans if the court ruled against him, but those options are more complex and less speedy than under IEEPA. Some apply to steel and aluminum imports, as well as to the aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. Some are country-specific, as is the case with tariffs on Chinese goods. The president acted quickly. During the weekend after the ruling, he announced a new global tariff of 15 percent under part of the Trade Act of 1974 and a 10 percent tariff on imports under the Trade Expansion Act, which was boosted to 15 percent the next day. But Keller noted that the Trade Act tariffs are limited to

The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s ability to impose tariffs using an emergency provision of law, although the administration has other ways to keep tariffs in place. (be free - stock.adobe.com) 15 percent and 150 days. “That gives them pretty broad authority but it’s limited,” he said. “There are a few tools they have. Some of them are slower,” he said. “It doesn’t mean tariffs are going away — far from it. I think there are a lot of reasons why the White House will double down and will exercise some of these other authorities.” Another option is for the administration to work with Congress to establish tariffs. “I think we’re going to see perhaps some reach-outs there to Congress from the White House: ‘Let’s figure something out that helps us more readily accomplish our goals.’ But I’m not sure. I think it could be that the White House, with the tools that it still has, will just continue to go its own way.” Among the companies hit with tariffs has been Stadler Rail Group, a Swiss-based rail car manufacturer with nearly 19,000 workers at 22 locations worldwide. Its North American headquarters are in Salt Lake City, with more than 700 employees.
Martin Ritter, CEO of Stadler US Inc., said the company may seek rebates on already paid tariffs but mostly is concentrating on the future. “Unfortunately, the decision this morning will not bring more certainties than we had before, at least short term,” he said. “There are still enough tools in the [administration’s] shed to keep the pressure high. … The volatility and uncertainties are pretty high and I think an issue generally. So, we have the Supreme Court ruling in the meantime, but I’m not sure we have more certainty currently, so we’re now waiting for how this will be applied and what’s really the way forward but also backwards, so it doesn’t make it easier.” Keller said terms of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement “will continue to be pretty important,” as well as agreements between the U.S. and individual nations. “There are so many angles to this,” he said. “There’s the geopolitical. We’ve crossed the Rubicon. We’re not going back to these global, world-trade type arrangements. It’s going to continue to be these bilateral deals.”

Key findings include women holding 31.3 percent of statewide executive offices and 33.6 percent of state legislative seats, with Utah having only one woman holding a congressional seat; women comprising 32.7 percent of legislators and five of 11 House leadership roles and all four Senate minority leadership positions; women holding 20.5 percent of county commission seats and onethird of county council seats, while nearly two-thirds of clerks, auditors, treasurers, recorders and assessors are women; women accounting for 23.9 percent of mayors; women holding 31.8 percent of city and town council seats; and women holding 10 of 15 seats on the State Board of Education and 52.8 percent of district board seats. Although two women – Deidre Henderson and Tina Cannon (the state’s first female auditor) – currently serve in statewide executive office, Utah has never elected a woman governor, with only Olene Walker (appointed after serving as lieutenant governor) and Jan Graham previously holding statewide executive roles.
