Each December, Americafest draws thousands of attendees from across the country along with prominent conservative figures. This year, Kirk's absence loomed large over the opening night of the conference, which he created as a celebration of the work done by his nonprofit organization. Despite that loss, the message from the stage was clear: the mission Kirk started will continue. The energy inside the convention center was palpable as night one began, with a packed crowd filling the arena to hear from Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, just three months after his death.

2+ hour, 12+ min ago (639+ words) The Summit County Council denied the Canyons master developer's request for a public infrastructure district in a 3-2 vote Dec. 17. PIDs can allow private property owners to issue bonds and access low-interest financing usually reserved for governments. They pay back the loans by taxing themselves.

"The question is, do we want to throw a match on it, and make it happen in three years?" Councilmembers Megan McKenna and Canice Harte also voted against the public infrastructure district. However, Harte acknowledged the argument that Canyons Village is mostly second homeowners who pay more…...
