Mother May I?

So its been nearly a year since my last post, not like any one reads my blog anyway. I think there is something about the legislative session that pushes me to write a blog. The things those fools do up there are amazing! You know I don't think you could make some of this stuff up.

I'm not sure what's so hard about making it a felony to seriously abuse an animal? Ohh, wait it is......if....they have been convicted of animal abuse once before in the last five years. Nice.

Really I have to know who votes in West Jordan? I would like to meet those responsible for Nutters Buttars and slap them in the back of the head. Honestly do you just show up at the poll and pick the Republican? What an embarrassment! I think the last thing anyone would want to do right now is admit that they vote in West Jordan. I guess it's bad enough they have to live there.

The Utah legislature is full of small minded, hate filled, vindictive evil men, not all of them but enough of them that I feel I can generalize. They hate the idea of someone else doing something (because they do so much of nothing).

The gov goes off and signs a non-binding deal with a bunch of other govs to lower emissions, the legislators draft a bill that requires the gov to get their permission before he does anything like that again. What was he thinking?
Mother may I?

The Mayor of SLC decides to put together a domestic partner registry, you would think he used the BoM as toilet paper. Now there's a bill outlawing that. Even though the SLC council passed the registry unanimously, meaning that the majority of the citizens who are supposedly represented by the city council are in favor of the registry.

I should help Curtis write a bill, this one would require all county and city councils run agendas past the legislature and get their ok before passing anything. No decisions can be made with out mother first making sure it's whats best. I believe this would save a lot of time and tax payer money in the long run. There would be a lot less laws on the books and the legislature would have more time in the session to actually get something accomplished. We will call this bill the Mother May I bill.

I would have to say though that my favorite is the conflict of interest. All they have to do is state that there is or might be a conflict. Thats it. They are required by law to vote on all bills.

I love this time of year!!
