BREAKING NEWS: Vivint Solar and Vivint Smart Home Founder, Todd Pedersen, has Apparently Acquired Controlling Interest in Utah-based Deploy Surveillance. This Development Potentially Puts Deploy and Pedersen on a Collision Course with Utah-based LVT (LiveView Technologies). To be honest we almost blew past yesterday's news release from Deploy Surveillance as it contained nothing about the money-side of the equation about Pedersen being announced as the Owner of the company. But something kept nagging at us, and that "something" eventually led to this report on Utah Money Watch: https://lnkd.in/gGXhNqhx. That said, we hope you find this writeup informative and useful, and if so, please know you're welcome to #repost and/or #share it on your own feed. Similarly, #comments and/or #likes are also appreciated. Thanks.

BREAKING NEWS: Salt Lake County and the "Wasatch Back" Will Receive a Combined Total of Over $34.3 Million In Federal Grant Monies to Replace Older Diesel Buses with Electric Buses. As important as the individual grants are — $18.1MM to the Utah Transit Authority and $16.275MM to High Valley Transit (via the Utah Department of Transportation), respectively ... and they ARE important — make no mistake about this. The BIGGER news is the combined value of both grants together. Duh!!! 👀 👀 👀 And any journalist / media outlet that missed that point, did just that ... They. Missed. It. 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ Anyways ... sorry for being a bit dogmatic and direct this morning, but after the crazy events of Butler, Pennsylvania over the weekend, but as the Editor, Publisher, and Founder of Utah Money Watch, I've decided I can no longer pussyfoot around certain topics or be swayed by calls to avoid offending others. That's just BS. 💩 💩 💩 Stop being lazy and do your jobs, people. 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ C'mon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Phew. Okay. Sorry for the outburst. It's just so frustrating at times. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Anyway, should you be interested in my take on the impact in #Utah of the combined $34.3MM+ in grant monies Federal Transit Administration, I invite you to turn to https://lnkd.in/gKT3hhgk to get the inside scoop.

And now, something less newsy, yet hopefully informative. Specifically, I was recently invited to join Silicon Slopes' Managing Director, Garrett Clark, for a one-on-one interview about Utah Money Watch and the state of #monetary, #financial, and #business news in the state of Utah. The interview is a little over 25 minutes long, but personally, I think it's a fun show. You can watch it on YouTube here — https://lnkd.in/g8qzaZPt — or listen to it on your favorite #podcast provider. {NOTE: It's Episode No. 129.} And ... if you like what you watch/listen to, please give this post a #like, drop a #comment, #share it to your feed, and/or #repost it to your own feed. In the meantime, thanks for your ongoing support. Truly. 🙏 🙏 🙏 All the best.

In case you missed it over the long holiday weekend, here's the Utah Money Watch writeup on the fatal Ogden Canyon accident that took the lives of two family members on Saturday: a daughter and a husband/father, he who was the President/CEO of Lifetime Products. This is now the 4th time that Utah Money Watch has researched and published an item about the death of a Utah business leader and/or someone with deep ties to the state. But this — "In a Tragic Holiday Accident, A Utah Family Loses its Daughter and Father/Husband, While a Company Loses its President and CEO" — is the first time we have had to write about an unexpected, even heartbreaking, loss of life. So, for those interested in learning more, we invite you to turn to https://lnkd.in/gByRbASx to get the full story. And as we published in the writeup itself, we "... extend our deepest and heartfelt empathies and sympathies to the immediate and extended Hendrickson family, as well as the members of the Lifetime Products team." God bless. Dave Politis, Founder, Publisher, and Editor, Utah Money Watch

"BREAKING NEWS: Utah-based R1 RCM Receives Updated All-Cash 'Take Private' Offer of ~$5.58 Billion from New Mountain Capital in a Proposed 'Go It Alone' Deal." For the record, trying to report on #financial / #monetary transactions during a holiday shortened week can be tough. Nevertheless, when we learned yesterday (yes, the 4th of July) that R1 RCM was in play, we knew we needed to jump on this news to get it out to our subscribers, followers, friends, and the Utah business community sooner versus later.
