As of Thursday afternoon, the Utah attorney general hadn't yet filed an appeal of Monday's ruling ordering it to pay four years of debts owed to administrators of the UEP Trust within 90 days. Read the story here.

Of course, they didn't file an appeal for months after Judge Denise Lindberg first ordered them to make the payment in August, (read August order story here and appeal story here) but this ruling has a rather more urgent timeline.

The AG's office doesn't exactly have several million socked away in a desk drawer, so if they were going to pay, they'd probably have to ask the Legislature for the cash.

We're also waiting for a bill that could disband the Colorado City/Hildale police department, a companion to a bill already introduced in Arizona. Read my story on the forthcoming legislation here.

I'm taking a couple days off for a family wedding, so one or both of these stories may be in the hands of an esteemed colleague. Keep an eye out!
