Reuters reported that 4% cuts would take place tomorrow. As of 10am this morning, all Friday flights in and out of SLC were still listed as on-time or scheduled... so some cancellations could be abrupt

Another update: SLCo said it had an error with ranked-choice voting last night. Its latest update this afternoon hasn't changed much in SLC's D3 & D5 races so far, but Petro's lead in the D1 race is now just 82 votes

This reminds me of a story I wrote last election when ZAP tax got renewed. It took a bit for SLCo residents to adopt it but last year it was almost 80% approve, and the county figures it's just people saw the results and preferred keeping it

Update: Petro's lead in District 1 shrinks to 148 votes after SLCo's last count of the night.

Not much change in Districts 3 and 5, with Wharton and Carlsen maintaining large leads

The big question right now is District 1, where Petro holds just a 198-vote lead. That may depend on how many votes are left to count within the city's northwest district

I'm told that these results are mostly from everything collected by 11 a.m., including about everything mailed in.

Wharton's and Carlsen's camps are claiming victories

District 1 is super tight in the early results. Victoria Petro, the incumbent, leads Stephen Otterstrom 53% to 47%.

Erika Carlsen opens with a large lead for District 5, the seat vacated by Darin Mano. She leads Amy Hawkins 66% to 31%

A large cheer just erupted where I'm at in the Avenues, as District 3 incumbent Chris Wharton takes a pretty solid lead in his race

Wharton - 44%
McClary - 25%
Huntsman-Hernandez - 18%

As it stands, Wharton would win 51% to 28% over McClary in a third-round runoff
