Never a dull moment when ISEE (Informal Science Enhancement) presents at the legislature. I love it when I see an ISEE truck in school parking lots, because I know that kids will have exciting science learning opportunities and teachers wil get top-tier training. #utpol #uted

@emilysf22 @mikemckellutah This was taken on a Friday when there is no public comment, so it was likely taken by a board member. It was taken several months ago and saved for now- the week that ballots come out. Meetings are long. Yesterday 14 hours. Today nearly 12. Context.

Why aren’t you more of of fighter? I’m not name calling and stomping my feet. Some voters want a feel-good answer and not lasting solutions. I can’t represent them as a fighter as they view it. I won’t because you sacrifice your ability to get things done.-J Curtis #uted #utpol

Listening to Congressman John Curtis at UVU (Sutherland series) speak about partisan rancor.

“As voters we like a good speech more than we like good work. Look at the person and PLEASE look for character and good success in their lives.” #utpol #uted
