  • Finances and Responsibility

    Reach Upward

    At one point in my career, I worked as a bank branch operations manager. It sounds a lot more prestigious than it really was. I handled customer service issues that the tellers couldn’t immediately handle, made sure that each teller had appropriate amounts of cash on hand throughout the shift, [...]

  • Matheson’s Bad Strategy

    One Utah

    I’m sure Jim Matheson figured he could oppose health care reform and immunize himself against Republican attacks and thereby save his seat.  In that, he’s made a fundamental miscalculation.

    As we’ve seen over the last year, the Republican party – individually and corporately – have no compunctions concerning lying about health [...]

  • Stuck in Limbo

    Pursuit of Liberty

    The funny thing about expectations is that they can serve to motivate our actions. I had held an expectation for myself that I would write daily (or almost daily) on all weekdays. It was hard at times to find things to write about and even harder to write anything of [...]

  • State Will Create an Autism Treatment Fund

    Utah Moms Care

    Last year there was a lot of discussion at the Capitol about helping children diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder, most notable Clay's Law. This year lawmakers created an Autism Treatment Fund to be managed by the Department of Health. The fund will collect gifts, donations, grants, and appropriations. Monies from [...]

  • Fiscal Responsibility

    Non-Partisan

    Over the past month I’ve watched the Utah legislature deal with the pressing issues of the day:  telling the federal government not to protect our environmental heritage, creating a holiday for John M. Browning, expressing its dismay for the 17th amendment and insulting the intelligence of Utah voters, and incurring [...]

  • Hurry Up and Wait

    Becky Edwards

    I have four bills sitting in the Senate. We worked hard on these bills and with a sense of urgency to get them out of the House so they could move to the Senate. And now they sit. If you’re interested in refinery safety–HB 169, recycling of electronic devices–HB 153, [...]

  • A Starting Point Is Just a Starting Point

    Becky Edwards

    Several weeks ago we worked on a budget proposal based on the recommendations of the various appropriations committees. That has turned out to be very much a starting point for many conversations and negotiations since that point. Today the last piece of the puzzle fell into place as we were [...]
