Promises are like pie crust
Blogging live from the state Senate . . .
New Senate President Mike Waddoups, a professional landlord by trade, gave an inauguration speech that indicates he might be out of touch with Utahns who have been slammed by America's hard times.
Way to paint the Senate into a corner, Mike.
Gov. Jon Huntsman's office is betting on bail-out money to at least limit cuts in education and human services. And polls show that most Utahns are willing to endure increased taxes to avoid severe budget cuts to services.
*Lawmakers' health insurance is paid for by taxpayers. Sweet.
New Senate President Mike Waddoups, a professional landlord by trade, gave an inauguration speech that indicates he might be out of touch with Utahns who have been slammed by America's hard times.We are doing well in this country. Let us be optimistic. . . . We can still eat. We still have homes and most still have jobs and health care*. . . . This is not a depression. We can all go out and purchase what we need— tires, . . . and food for our family.Waddoups eschewed quoting Jesus, Lincoln or even Ronald Reagan in his speech. Instead, he quoted military pulp fiction author Tom Clancy in calling on his colleagues to keep their word. So it came as a surprise when Waddoups vowed the Legislature will solve the states economic problems "without raising taxes or accepting a federal bail out."

Cmon, Warchol. That's not what was said. He said they might accept some of the federal bailout money, and that they would solve the crisis without raising "all" taxes.
Waddups is so out of touch! He still believes that seeing alcohol will turn you into an alcoholic. Has he ever traveled outside of the state and his small little closed minded world of "Waddups is great"
slumord is more like the insufferable little P***K.
