This morning I’m off to the Hill to catch my favorite day of the Utah Legislature: the last day. The last day is the best day. Not because it’s over, and we don’t have to listen to Stephenson or Wimmer hate on the Fed’s while cashing their checks, or because public education only has to go [...] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 10, 2010 RESIDENTS RALLY AGAINST PROPOSED SKI RESORT A group of Cache Valley residents are fighting a proposed ski resort east of Richmond at the mouth of Cherry Creek Canyon. David Chadwick and Logan Checketts presented their plans for the 160-acre Rainey Ranch Ski Resort at the March 4, 2010, [...] Tonight: We’re joined in the first hour with Cache Republican Party Chairman David James to discuss all things Bennett, Obama, and TEA Party. David and I have agreed to not argue (too much) this time. And in the second hour, as promised, we will speak with Chis Cocola, former Congressman and President/CEO of Club for Growth, who [...] Special guest for tonight’s 5 o’clock hour will be Chis Cocola, former Congressman and President/CEO of Club for Growth, who are behind the Stop Bob Bennett campaign and TV ad running here in Utah’s Senate Race. We’ll find out what Club for Growth is all about, and why they decided to make the Utah Senate race [...] Just realized the last few of these “Tonight on…” posts I had dated 2/3, 2/4, etc. So much for my grasp of the basic calendar, huh? Anyway… Tonight: We’re going 8-bit with the theme music. We do this to keep ourselves sharp, cutting edge, and proven geeks. It’s time for another Mero Moment. Not sure what Paul has chosen [...] 2/4 FTP: StopBobBennett.org, and the FTP Legislative Limelight: Smoke Tax Talk with Sen. ChristensenTonight: Club for Growth has moved into Utah in the hopes of unseating Senator Bob Bennett (that liberal!). Tyler, Jon and I will will discuss what drives this movement. Has Bob Bennett betrayed his ideology, or is this just a band wagon attached to a purity test that will boost Sam Granato’s chances? We’ll discuss. And in [...] Tonight: “Hella.” A movement actually exists to get this introduced into the official English lexicon to define something that is “really, really, big.” We’ll discuss. And we were emailed an announcement that a local organization plans to push Logan City to adopt a non-discrimination ordinance. Mormons for Equality and Social Justice (MESJ) would like to see the [...] As a Democrat, I fully endorse Mark Shurtleff’s endorsement of Club for Growth’s endorsement of the biggest wingnut candidate available to knock the strongest candidate for Utah Senate out of the race. (Go Eagar! Heh) Via “Mark Shurtleff for Senate 2010″ on Facebook: Subject: Please sign this Pledge for a real fiscal conservative Sign the Pledge today, it’s [...] Tonight: Logan City Police Chief Gary R. Jensen is still residing in Farmington, waiting to for his home to sell before moving to Logan officially. Local news story reports a tally of 15,000 miles, and $2,000 in fuel costs. Issue, non issue? We report, you decide. Tuesday means it’s Mero Moment time, with the latest musings from [...] For those who have missed them (please provide a reasonable excuse in the comments), here are links to the podcasts from the FTP Legislative Limelight segments aired so far this session. February 9th – Sen. Dan Liljenquist (R – District 23) on Retirement Reform. Tonight: Jon has noticed a frightening (Geek!) trend in Cache Valley, and has a special PSA announcement for fellow (Geeks!) residents. A report on child pornography arrests in Utah has been released by the Attorney General’s office. The results are more than a little troubling. What gives? We’ll try to find out. Forging onward with our Legislative Limelight [...] Tonight: A lot to discuss from today’s legislative festivities. Retirement reform, using school trust funds for suing the Fed’s, a really, really, really strange conversation between Reps. Herrod and Seegmiller on parents smoking in cars (which Tyler and I may just re-enact for your entertainment), and much, much more. What are you hearing that [...] Last week, Utah lawmakers honored Senate Site mastermind Ric Cantrell for his work opening the legislature to the public. It was an overdue show of respect for the work they do at the site. Today, “intern in exile” Krystle Whitney, a new addition to The Senate Site crew, provided a real insider’s look at what [...] I say “outsider” because I am most definitely not a part of any group of people that even by accident served up this batch of candidates. In other words, a Democrat. But that’s not to say I haven’t been paying very close attention, for entertainment’s sake. Here are a few thoughts I have on each [...] An audio update from Sen. John Valentine on the ethics bills moving quickly through the house: SJR3 and HJR15 are companion bills that will create an independent commission to investigate accusations of unethical conduct by members of the legislature. In this Hesterman Report, Senator Valentine explains the role of the commission and why it should be [...] Tonight: We’re going “Meta,” and spending our entire first hour talking “political identity.” What is means, what it doesn’t mean, the difference between being “independent” and being “moderate,” and… well, everything surrounding the topic. We want your calls. Where do you put yourself on the political map and why? And we’ll wrap the hour up with [...] Via the NYT: one third of the US is opting out on getting wired. Of the 93 million persons without broadband identified by the study, about 80 million are adults. Small numbers of them access the Internet by dial-up connections, or outside the home at places like offices or libraries, but most never log on anywhere. [...] Tonight: We’ll speak with a representative from local business Juniper Systems, Inc., on their growth in the valley, through thick and thin, from start up to major contender in their field. Business owners will not want to miss this one. We’ll get an update on the Children’s Justice Center from Director Mike Stauffer. Continuing our Legislative Limelight series, [...] Tonight: A bill in the Utah Legislature proposes putting ads on school buses to generate more revenue for school districts. Proponents argue buses are driving billboards, opponents argue kids are already bombarded by advertising. What do you think? Utah once again ranks as one of they healthiest states, and Cache Valley is the second healthiest county in [...] (Via Vince Wickwar, Cache Democrats) Contact: Wayne Holland Press Release Utahns will hold Congressional Republicans accountable for Obstruction Salt Lake City, UT – Democratic State Party Chair Wayne Holland issued the following statement regarding the first anniversary of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of [...] |
