VICTORY! Utah Supreme Court reinstates our claim that the legislature violated the Utah Constitution when it repealed the initiative banning partisan gerrymandering. Affirms that the people have the right to alter or reform their government. #fairmaps#Utah
BREAKING: Utah's largest teachers union says they will oppose a ballot measure this fall that would open up Utah's Constitution so income tax can go to fund other state needs besides education. #utpol@KSL5TV
The opposition is significant because lawmakers argue that the change is needed to fix an imbalance in Utah's budget, and that protections exist for education funding. But this key group of the education community has voted otherwise.

I’m not a career politician — I’m a medical doctor. Serving the public is my life’s work, and I’m running for the Salt Lake County Council because I believe trying to help is the right thing to do. So is my stepping aside after two terms. #utpol 8/8
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
Come hear good music, support Shades, and hear why I am the right candidate to become County Clerk.
Your right to vote may depend on it!
See you next Friday!
