Why has the State Quietly Paid Super Lobbyists Pignanelli & Foxley Tens of Thousands of Dollars Since 2014, for ‘PR’ For a Lawsuit--That has Yet to be Filed?
Read the AP story. In 2014, the legislature took $2.4 million tax dollars and gave it to the Commission for the Stewardship of Public Lands. The Commission then hired a New Orleans law firm (not any qualified lawyers in Utah apparently) and paid the law firm $350,000 for a feasibility study on the question 'If Utah sued the Federal Government for 32 million acres of public land, would Utah prevail?"

How Much Utah Tax Money Should We Dole Out To Amazon? One, Two Billion $$$’s Enough?
And in the days of the giant corporations, a savior came to the states and cities. He appeared in the dreams of gullible Mayors and Governors. The crafty billionaire savior said unto them, "I will create 'up to' 50,000 jobs." And lo and behold, the Governors and Mayors were dazzled and they groveled. But, the people were scornful, for they understood the sophistry of the crafty billionaire savior. They understood his cunning-that they would lose jobs. They understood what he really meant was 'Give me billions of taxpayer dollars and I will auction off jobs, pitting one against another--until there is no good for anyone except for me. And watch, as bedazzled leaders cheer while I, the savior billionaire, close down their entire local retailing economy. And the duped politicians will say everywhere in the land of me--HE is great. For HE is a billionaire' Read More

As the Rio Grande Homeless Project Moves Along…
A loving gentle reminder to policymakers that:
1. JUST arresting people has not worked for more than very short bursts. They will get out and be back on the streets lickety–splits.
2. Statewide, the number of substance treatment openings should equal--the number of people who want treatment. The only way to do that is is immediate, FULL Medicaid Expansion. That's $677 million--available right NOW. Millions could be used to help the homeless get treatment and medication.
3. Utah has 3,050,000 people. SL County has 1,100,000 people. Salt Lake City has 192,000 people. Homelessness is not just a Salt Lake City problem--people come from Davis County, St George, Richfield, Logan and even Utah, God's County. This bill must be PAID by all Utahns.
4. Fairly, costs of homeless should be allocated:
State of Utah 69.89%
Salt Lake County 25.6%
Salt Lake City 4.4%
