Redistricting Resurgence

The freshly carved judiciary map, chosen by Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson, unfurls across SR‑224 and chokes on the once‑low‑profile Guardsman Pass, leaving the Park City Municipal Corp to grudgingly accept a contour that feels like a persistent asphalt‑black memory of unchecked gerrymandering. Gov. Spencer Cox, in a tone that mirrors high‑viz yellow vest complaints, vows a December 9 special session, promising clarity while simultaneously horse‑clipping the very possibility of a fast, efficient transition for voters. Mike Schultz and Senate President Stuart Adams, whispering in the same chambers where the UDOT deadbolt locks are heavy, thread the same resignation, fanning rhetoric that “represents” the people while quietly safeguarding partisan advantage. The whole mechanism, a parade of red‑brick bureaucrats in faded municipal beige suits, appears to stall progress, each step echoing the same symphonic pedantry of a Wes Anderson set‑piece. Tactical recommendation: take the Richardson Flat bus.
