Here We Go

The people of Utah, through their elected representatives, join together for 45 days to pursue their common purposes. Some of your issues (and mine) will advance, others will not. But, at the end of the session, the overall will of the people will be accomplished. Likely, that will mean that conservative causes will prevail. Utah is a conservative state, and its laws reflect that outlook.

Legislators try hard and want your input. Some people and groups (usually the ones whose causes aren't prevailing) would have you believe otherwise. Before you buy that line, I'd like to invite you to take a close look at what we do this session. Talk with us, and attend some of the committee meetings and floor debates. Also, I hope this website will give you a closer look at how we operate.

While I'm at it, I'll give you a challenge. If you don't like what you see, figure out how to change it, and let us know. After all, it is your government.
