Getting an Eyeful
Nephi Republican Sen. Darin Peterson had to think quickly to defend himself against fellow Republicans Friday.

A member of the Senate Agriculture, Environmental and Natural Resources Committee, he fidgeted and rolled his eyes throughout the committee discussion of a rural roads bill.

Turns out, there was a good reason. In the front row, lobbyist Fred Finlinson and GOP Rep. Dave Ure sat giggling and playing with a laser pointer.

Luckily for Peterson, his official committee binder effectively doubled as a shield against the red laser criss-crossing his face.
