Something is seriously wrong here. No suspension will change this mindset. These children are a danger to other and their behavior should not be swept under the rug.

What happens if you DO eat silica gel? Not a lot, apparently. According to the advice of the Utah Poison Control Centre, "Silica gel is a desiccant which absorbs moisture and is included in the packaging of many products such as shoes, purses, medications, electronic equipment, computers, etc. Desiccants are the most c...

The idea is to capture money from those that earn their living here (oil, fishing, mining) and live and spend elsewhere. This is not insubstantial. I support an income tax. To those that say that it will give license to the legislature, I say vote for better candidates. If you are sending money to the treasury (instead...

Thanks Foinah. Unfortunately, wweek is not in the business of standing up for truly offensive things, and in fact, in this case they are promoting it.

Rep.Reinbold likes to point fingers, but she will not set an example by giving up her Legislator Salary Padding.

Rick Halford is correct about the damage raiding the people’s fund will cause.
