Legislators, lobbyists, aim to honor Larry Miller
For years, Utah legislators have enjoyed free tickets to Utah Jazz games courtesy of corporate lobbyists whose clients buy season tickets them hand them out like candy to the lawmakers to curry favor.
Now, at least one legislator is asking the lobbyists to show a little love to the Jazz organization itself, and most specifically to its late owner Larry Miller, who passed away during the most reason Jazz season.
Sen. John Valentine, R-Provo, has invited about 50 lobbyists and legislators to a luncheon today to launch a fund-raising campaign for a Larry Miller monument to be placed at EnergySolutions Arena.
Valentine is a co-chair with Paul Swenson of Colonial Flag of the fund-raising campaign, which will raise money for the monument through the Utah Track and Field Foundation. They hope to raise about $800,000 to design and construct a bronze state of Miller with six panels behind him symbolizing various aspects of his contribution to the community.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly
