A Hangout for Utahns & Those Interested in Utah Opinions
I read an article today that began with the words “We all hate to pay taxes.” I disagree and so I closed the browser window and chalked it up as another example where reporters do not know everything. Believe it or not I am proud to pay taxes to support our national interests such as national security, immigration, roads, […]
There is a bill that is trying to be run through the Utah Legislature… silently. Senate Bill 71 (SB71) was introduced by Senator Carlene Walker. The bill is a result of last November’s vote to split Jordan School District into two distinct districts. Interestingly the east siders voted to agree with the split while the west-siders […]
The public comment period for the envioronmental impact study (EIS) on the Mountain View Corridor ends in two days, January 24th. If you have not taken any time to review the document you can view it here. The document itself is huge (over 1/2 GB) so if you would prefer a hard copy, the link mentioned […]
I hope the new look does not bother anyone. The default drab of WordPress’ software is a good start, but I was tired of it. The new look is colorful, a suiting reflection of Utah’s natural character. Yes, the banner above is at Bryce Canyon, taken from Bryce Point, and was photographed by yours truly. I love Utah’s beauty, from the bleak […]
As for vouchers, slam dunk, they should be done for now, er um, until the next legislative session I am sure.
Congratulations to the new Salt Lake City mayor, Ralph Becker, elected in Salt Lake City. I for one am looking forward to not seeing Rocky Anderson on the news every night. Now if we could […]
The intersection lights are on at 7800 South and Airport Road (about 4500 West). Jim Bird (Utah Congressman, Dist 42) promised that if elected he would work hard to address east-west corridor issues. This stretch of road (7800 South) is one of Jim’s primary focuses. With the addition of the light and the apparent two-lane […]
The 2007 Bluffdale City Council Primary is over, and it ought to serve some interesting changes. Three seats are up from grabs and with the recent public fiasco (Bluffdale losing 1/3 of its property to Herriman, and ultimately an LDS Temple) the citywide battle is vital to its citizens. The six candidates who will face […]
Well, the 2007 Salt Lake city mayoral primary election has come and gone (see KSL’s article). I held my breath to the last moment in high hopes that Mayor Anderson would not run for re-election. Based on the results of the primary, looks like Salt Lake City proper will have to choose between Dave Buhler and […]
It is disgusting to hear of anyone preying upon the elderly. Apparently a man in Utah County stole from an elderly victim in Lindon, right in his own driveway. What is wrong with some people?
Many of us remember Ron Gardener, the wrestler who was a gold medalist in the Sydney Olympics in 2000. I know this story is old news, but still can’t believe he lived a third brush with death, this time in an airplane. We’ve all heard of having nine lives. Be careful Ron, only six to go.
