Up on the Hill Today

I am sitting in the Senate gallery (audience) listening to debate. I attended our regular
Chamber of Commerce caucus with our Weber legislators this morning at 7am. It is a good opportunity to visit with our local representatives. Both Supt. Jacobsen and Zabriskie attend. I also attend a Tuesday Legislative Committee ( Chamber of Commerce) each week. Yesterday the Senate did vote 2nd reading (it has one more vote) to approve SB 48 Buttars Competency Test Bill. That gives us one more chance to visit with our Senators (they all three voted for it) and ask them to vote no on third reading. I also attended House Ed Committee this morning where HB 150 was approved to go the floor. It would change the method of nominating and electing State School Board members. Remember, we lost Dr. Richard Sadler and got Dave Thomas. Hope you have a great Valentines Day and a nice long weekend. We all need the break.

Thanks for reading. Rick
