Welcome! This is a Lemmy Community dedicated to Utah, its news, politics, people, geography, recreation, and more.

Utahns, former Utahns, visitors, or just the Utah-curious are welcome. Whether you're a refugee from another online service or a Lemmy native, you're welcome here.

Keep it on topic, civil (though robust debate is perfectly fine), and about the posts, not about the person.

Shot this from point of the mountain. Absolutely worth the drive if you can, pictures don’t do it justice.

Bike Utah is offering free bike rack installation for local businesses. Some businesses also qualify to get the rack for free. This is great to see. Bike infrastructure is improving throughout Salt Lake and Utah valley, but most businesses still don’t have anywhere to park a bike. We need destination infrastructure if we’re going to get more people biking, which benefits everyone.

The announcement says: Email Jacob at Jacob@bikeutah.org to get your FREE bike rack proposal, or suggest an establishment that might benefit from bike racks!

FSC made a statement about the decision here: https://www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/fsc-will-appeal-decision-in-utah

IANAL, but reading the court's decision, I think dismissal on 11th amendment grounds is a case study for why states are creating laws that allow for private liability -- the "vigilante enforcement" approach. It gives states the ability to create unconstitutional laws without consequence. States can easily create a chilling effect on speech, while preventing plaintiffs from proving standing due to sovereign immunity and no "real" damages having taken place yet.
