Happy Anniversary
My blog is one-year old today! And, I'm even more encouraged now about the possibilities of technology opening the doors to government than I was a year ago.
In our vast and busy state, people can watch their government through the best government website in the country (that's a fact), LaVar's incredible political aggregatorUtah Policy, the blogs of Reps. Alexander, Dougal, and now Fowlke (together forming the Utah County Conglomerati), the Senate Site (And, man, does it burn me how dang good that thing is! Hey, Hillyard and Cantrell, give it a rest; go hang Christmas lights or something), and numerous wonderful political (or partially political) sites, like Phil's Utah Politics and Charley's State of the Beehive -- and the sites they list on their blogrolls. Great stuff for democracy!
If anyone has suggestions on how to make this site more interactive or otherwise beneficial to constituents and Utahns, please share.
UPDATE (12/08/05): I just now saw this nice tribute from the Senate Site and my friend from Brigham City. It warms my heart . . . and makes me wonder what those guys are after. Thanks, Pete.

Happy anniversary. May you and your blog see many, many more.
How come I get the sense you are more excited about the first anniversary of your blog than you are about the 15th anniversary WE just celebrated?
Happy day!
Fifteen? Really?
Keep up the good work. It's great to have direct communication with people in positions that can make a difference.
MOZELTOF! Keep it up. I really appreciate it. I hope other elected reps keep following suit.
We've got an amazingly sizeable and quality group of local bloggers in Utah. I think it's great. And to have some of you elected officials staying in touch with us via blogs is sensational. Much appreciated.

See tribute to Steve Urquhart and oldest legislator blogs listed at lawmakers.blogspot.com.
Congrats on your one year!
My congratulations to Sara! 15 years... I wonder if she knew what she was getting herself into.
Keep up the good work. You're a real asset to the state.
Best Wishes,
Marty Stephens
Hooray for Steve! . . .and Sara! Your blog is one of my daily stops. Keep up the good work.
Good for you, Steve, on all counts. Incidentally, our home computer uses Microsoft Office 2003, and the spellchecker on it does not recognize the word BLOG. It's a fast-paced world, and you're helping set the pace.
Donna,
The funny thing is that Blogger software does not recognize "blog" or other variations of the word.
