Bagley’s cartoon depicts plans for the data center in Box Elder County as the Death Star. The headline of the Trib editorial reads “Box Elder County needs to hit the brakes on Stratos ‘hyperscale’ data center project”
The headline reads “Utah should leave Lt. guv’s office alone, and stop accusing electorate of cheating.” Above that, in the Bagley cartoon, Lt. Gov. Henderson guards the ballot box from both the Utah Legislature and the DOJ, who approach with tools including bolt-cutters. She says “but it’s not broken,” and the legislature replies “We’ll fix that.”

At the top of the Salt Lake Tribune opinion page, above an editorial headlined “The legislature is working quickly to add to it’s own power by weakening the courts,” a Bagley cartoon shows the legislature as Jabba the Hut, holding on a chain lady liberty instead of Princess Leia; she is labeled “Utah Judiciary.”
On the opinion page, Bagley’s cartoon of the Utah Legislator coming after the champion skater’s knee with a pipe (the skater is labeled “mail-in voting”) appears above the Trib editorial headlined “Utah GOP lawmakers fail to see how well Utah Republicans have run our vote-by-mail system.”
