A Hangout for Utahns & Those Interested in Utah Opinions
The issue of the limited number of liquor licenses in the state has been discussed a lot over the last year in municipal and coalition meetings, primarily due to the fact that if a fine business establishment like Olive Garden or Red Robin wish to open a new business they choose not to…. due to not […]
Hollywood films frequently depict a Wild West shootout in the soil-laden streets of the 1800s. Until tonight I really had not thought of the fact that Utah had its own share of shootouts. Enjoy a few minutes reading this 1996 article, written by Becky Bartholomew, posted at Utah History to Go.
I want to pass along regret to a fellow Utah blogger out there… Jeff Bell. I was rooting for him to win his campaign run for Utah Democratic Party Chair. Although I disagree with about 80% of what he says, well more like 90% of what he says (cough), I appreciate the fact that he consistently […]

Dave Brownlow (Constitution) … 5.2%
The Constitution Party’s National Chairman, James Clymer, brazenly declared
It’s good news for the Constitution Party when […]
Being LDS and politically active I frequently field questions from colleagues about where Mormons stand on certain issues. More exact, I frequently hear remarks from these colleagues indicating “Mormons vote as a block” or “Mormons are all Republicans.” Rather than being defensive about my religious beliefs, I normally present the argument that the LDS Church endorses […]
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting Utah’s new Senate President is West Jordan’s Michael Waddoups. This leadership change could prove a good thing for Utah! A new Majority Leader was selected, too, Sheldon Killpack. Congratulations to both.
I am honored to have participated so heavily in the Jason Chaffetz campaign since February. As of now, with over 94% of the precincts reporting, Jason has collected 64.8% of the vote. Congratulations Congressman-elect! I look forward to seeing your voice in Congress!
In legislative district 42 (in my hometown), Jim Bird sweeps with 66.6% of the vote. Congratulations Jim. Your efforts have been noticed and we appreciate you!
