Legislative Rant

It’s been a busy month for me at work and the flu for a week all but did me in, seems like the end of the legislative session always wears me down.

What I love most about the Utah legislature besides how they waste time is the fact that they love nothing more then to legislate local issues. They hate it when the feds get in their business but they have no problems getting all up into the locals, especially Salt Lake City and the County. Salt Lake County according to the Govs Office in 2005 had just fewer than 1 million; the entire State had just over 250 million. Salt Lake County is 38% of the States population and we have legislatures from rural areas telling the city and county what they can and cannot do? Try telling the rural folk what to do; you would think the world is coming to an end. I think that the County is responsible enough to make its own decisions without the help from the State legislature. Hopefully next year they will focus more on State issues and less on how to punish Salt Lake.

I know that the session has been over for a while but I hadn’t had a chance to rant about it. So there it is.
