The Utah Legislature Begins

With a new year also comes a new legislative session.  This year on Utah’s capital hill we can expect the big Republican “tax cuts!”  Yeaaaah!  Oh and don’t forget, Chris Buttars and friends will completely squander anything gay or secular.  God Bless Utah!

Maryland lawmakers approve Wal-Mart health care bill

CNN – Wal-Mart Health Bill

Sweet! A Democratic legislature in Maryland is now forcing Wal-Mart to spend 8 percent of its revenue on health care. This is a good thing for low income families who are employed by Wal-Mart. It is no secret that a very large health care provider for Wal-Mart employees is Medicaid. This bill will force Wal-Mart to pay it’s fair share of health care costs. This is also good for the middle class in Maryland who will no longer be required to pay (via taxes) health care costs that Wal-Mart refuses to pay to it working poor employees.

Hats off to the Democratic legislature in Maryland. I will lobby our Utah legislature on the same issue.

2006 in South Jordan

2006 will likely mark my first full year in South Jordan. What is a workoholic no good son of a gun like me to do to make 2006 worth the trouble in South Jordan? Well first things first: I have got to fight the politics of this conservative area. My Utah state Senator for South Jordan is none other than Chris Buttars. Chris thinks that Utah government should reflect the values and teachings of his heavenly father. To Buttars I say this: “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.”
