Editorial: HB477 Is Your Fight
March 24, 2011
Charlie Trentelman adds few choice words too, skewering our spineless Governor and Machiavellian Senate "leadership" from his ever-excellent Wasatch Rambler perch:
And as we stand one day shy of tomorrow's "special" legislative session, we now learn that...
1) Rep. John Dougall, the sponsor of HB 477, and the nitwit who started this whole mess, now says the measure should be repealed:
2) There may actually now be enough votes in the Utah Senate to repeal HB 477 during Friday's Special Session...
Let's not take any chances however people. As the Standard-Examiner urges, it's time to contact our Northern Utah senatorial delegation, if you haven't already done so:
- Peter Knudson
- Allen Christensen
- Scott Jenkins
- Stuart Reid
- Jerry Stevenson
- Stuart Adams
- Dan Liljenquist
- Lyle W. Hillyard
(Once again we'd like to thank our palz @ Utah Policy Daily, for helping us come up with a few of the above links.)
