As Utahns aged 70 and older become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine this week, demand is currently exceeding supply. But Governor Spencer Cox feels confident vaccination distribution is becoming more efficient, and expects doses to be made to more groups in late February or early March.

And, residents of a tiny, unincorporated, coal town on Colorado’s Western Slope are pitted against billionaire mine owner Bill Koch in a fight for clean drinking water. Our partners at KBUT wanted to find out if this David versus Goliath story is as simple as it sounds.
