The worst I can recall in history. The same frustration for the Republican dominated US Congress is to be found among the citizens of the State of Utah for our State Legislature. Campaign reform and having "clean" elections would be one good place to start. Turning Utah's Tooele desert over to the Energy Solutions people is another. Our Governor really flopped on that election promise didn't he?

Rob, can the Democrats take this disatisfaction, here in the Behive State, and do something with it in less than 2 years?

It is time to 'rise and shout' and throw the Republicans out.

It was a terrible session. I'm suprised that there were not any broken arms in this session because of all the arm twisting and political bullying going on. Most Utahns oppose vouchers, oppose the Real stadium, oppose Energy Solutions' expansion, Vets and the disabled were still ignored, and the problems of the uninsured was not addressed. In addition, because of the 20 plus years of neglecting public schools, Utah still is way behind our neighboring states in funding public ed.
But since you are a voucher supporter, I'm sure you don't care.
