Are we done with "Disagree Better"? 
 
Do we still want to disagree better? It's been something Governor Spencer Cox has championed for years now, but recent comments he made against those opposed to a proposed data center have Holly wondering if we've moved on. And then a local business has announced it would forego a signed event for Governor Cox's new book, citing anger from their shoppers. Inside Sources goes deeper on the messaging and whether or not we've lost all hope of disagreeing better.

Societal imbalances due to aging population 
 
We're getting older and older (well, not Greg and Holly – they'll live forever), and that's creating an imbalance within our population, especially as fewer babies are born every year. And with immigration losing its popularity as well, we're on a faster decline than many previously thought. Opinion Editor of the Deseret News Jay Evensen shares what he's learned from the data.

People in Box Elder County prepare for public hearing on proposed data center 
 
Governor Spencer Cox is backing a proposed 40,000-acre data center in Box Elder County, just as hundreds of residents prepare to descend on the county fairgrounds today to voice opposition to the plan before the county commission. Many have voiced concerns over water, heat island, power, and the secrecy of the project. If it's such a great thing – as the Governor says – why has it been hidden until just now? Greg and Holly preview the meeting tonight and why the Governor says he supports the plan... and you should too.
