Bowling for Dollars
It's generally understood that most lobbyists must be pretty
good golfers. After all, they go to so many golf tournaments created
to raise money for politicians they get more practice than most.
But did you know they also get pretty proficient at bowling as
well?
Tonight, the House Republicans are hosting the fifth annual
"Bowlers Ball" at Shepherd's All Star Lanes in West Jordan.
Those willing to spend the money, which will be used to re-elect
Republican incumbents in the Utah House of Representatives, get their
very own lane for the night.
To be designated a "megapin team," the four bowlers on that crew
must donate $2,500. But, hey, for just $1,250, the quartet can be a
"kingpin team."
Prizes will be doled out for the best team score, best
individual score, best team bowling shirts and the best team costume.
Perhaps some Republican insiders can even recycle the pirate
costumes they wore at Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's "Pirates of
the Caribbean" party early this month just prior to the GOP State
Convention.
And you'll never guess the sponsors of this fund-raiser.
They're the usual suspects of Select Health, which is IHC's health
plan, EnergySolutions, Quickmed, Questar and the Utah Association of
Realtors.
Organizers say 48 teams have registered to bowl and they expect
to raise about $80,000.
Cheers,

I think you should elect an official that will change the Consenual age for sex from 14. Do you realize you invite trouble. Those poor girls. I hope that, Jesps goes to jail and to follow should be the 19 year old cousin. Wake up! UTAH How very sad!
