Illness striking lawmakers

With the 2008 session of the Utah Legislature scheduled to convene in about three weeks, serious diseases are striking the ranks of the lawmakers to the point it could have an impact, at least in the early part of the session.

Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Rep. Carl Duckworth, D-Magna, is seriously ill with a rare form of blood cancer.

And Rep. Bud Bowman, R-Cedar City, is scheduled to have quintuple bypass surgery on Thursday.

Here's wishing a speedy recovery for all of them.

Cheers,
Paul Rolly
