A friend told me she was accosted by a signature gatherer in an aisle inside of Smith’s while shopping. I thought she was confused and asked if meant outside of Smith’s. No, she said. She was inside the store.

I’ve just told them “not on your life” when they asked me if I “was a registered Republican” and “want to sign this petition to stop radical leftists”

If I was still unemployed I would be right next to their table giving out facts and counterpoints every day.

Rep. Owens says this critical resolution taking on the Utah Judiciary is “the strong branch of government punching down on the weak branch of government.” Owens reads parts of the District Court ruling. #utpol #utleg #uted #SeparationofPowers #ChecksAndBalances #UtahConstitution

Rep. Doug Owens rises in opposition to this resolution critical of the Utah Judiciary. Quotes Alexander Hamilton: the purpose of the courts is to interpret law. (Federalist 78). #utpol #utleg #UtahConstitution #Federalist #SeparationofPowers

Rep. Casey Snider says that the Utah Constitution is so important that the Legislature has to protect the Constitution from attacks on the Constitution from the Utah judiciary. Says the Legislature is the voice of the People. #utpol #utleg #UtahConstitution #separationofpowers

Rep. Tuescher sums up before the vote I. HB 267 repeal. He says that teachers are on suicide watch during the legislature because of the UEA. Tuescher and the Legislature are only trying to help public education. #utleg #utpol #uted #UEA #RedforEd

Newly sworn-in Rep. John Arthur speaks in favor of repeal of HB 267. Rep. Arthur is replacing former Rep. Gay Lynn Bennion who is mayor-elect of Cottonwood Heights. Rep. Arthur teaches in the Salt Lake City School District. #utpol #utleg #UEA #RedforEd #publicschools

[Joel Briscoe @RepBriscoe]

Rep. Jordan Tuescher says the Utah Legislature is repealing HB 267 in special session because the conversation has become “too hot”. He was just trying to give teachers a “stronger voice”. Uses phrase “Utah Way”. #utpol #utleg #UEA #RepTuescher #RedforEd #UtahWay

I told the County Council that I have never seen a cure cost less than prevention. Child care centers and senior centers are prevention. Closing child care centers and senior centers will create problems needing cures. #SaltLakeCounty #childcareiseconomicdevelopment #utpol #utleg

We’re back at the Salt Lake County Council urging funding for child care centers and the 10th East Senior Center. Council approves next year’s budget today. #SLCO #utpol #utleg #Seniors #DeaTheodore #SuzanneHarrison #MayorJennyWilson #Childcareiseconomicdevelopment

SLCO Mayor Jenny Wilson says that day care is an important county service, and that she believes that the county can continue to provide day care while making improvements. #SLCO #MayorJennyWilson #childcareiseconomicdevopment #SLCOCouncil

SLCO Council again hearing from the public about the council budget cutting child care centers, closing the 10th East Senior Center and job training programs. #SLCO #10thEastSeniorCenter #childcareiseconomicdevopment #utpol #utleg

[Joel Briscoe @RepBriscoe]

Council member Aimee Winder Newton says that the County Council never voted to provide child care to county residents as a council policy. Question: wasn’t the creation & funding of child care centers tacit creation of that policy? #utpol #SLCO #AimeeWinderNewton #10thEastCenter

@NateForUtah After pics of the Oval Office, I’m disappointed there’s not more gold.
