Violating the code
New Rep. Sylvia Andersen forgot a camera for her most significant legislative moment -- organizing the prayer and pledge of allegiance Thursday. She had five generations of her family present.
Crisis!
"Could you do me a favor?" the quick-thinking Draper Republican asked a Salt Lake Tribune photographer. "Could you take our picture?"
The good-natured photographer complied, jockeying his way through the chamber in an attempt to catch a shot of the representative, her children and grandchildren. But he made a mistake. He (gasp) snapped a picture during the prayer.
But Rep. Gordon Snow, R-Roosevelt, was on top of it, grabbing the photographer on his way out.
"We do not take pictures during the prayer," he said through gritted teeth. He grabbed his microphone and threatened to make a speech to that effect, but thought better of it.
So, lawmakers, be on notice: No more snapshots for family scrapbooks.

The photog should be glad Rep. Ure is no longer with the Legislature. He would have spoken to it....
Jack,
I can't believe you shot Curtis.
