SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah doctor was barred from prescribing opioids and other controlled substances and ordered to pay $65,000 after he was accused of illegally issuing prescriptions to customers.
Specifically, the complaint accused Ponce of catering to customer requests for controlled substances, using text messaging and cash transactions to arrange exchanges between himself and customers. These"meetings" lacked legitimate examinations, medical findings supporting the appropriate use of prescriptions and genuine doctor-patient relations, officials explained in the original complaint.

Democrats and tech leaders spend big on independent in UtahSALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Tech leaders and Democratic Party-aligned groups are among those funneling millions into Utah to support independent Evan McMullin’s bid to unseat Republican Sen. Mike Lee. The race has been inundated with outside spending, with super PACs unaffiliated with either the Lee or McMullin campaign spending heavily on glossy mailers and attack ads on the local affiliates of the four major television networks in the lead-up to the midterm elections.
