A lighthearted look at the news of the day:
Utah lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow voters to recall the state’s U.S. senators. The bill is ironic, considering many Utahns, if asked, probably couldn’t recall either their senators or representative.
---
In fact, I could support a bill that would require everyone in Utah to recall the names of the politicians they elected, with extra points, redeemable for either free Jell-O or fry sauce, if they can name their school board representative.
---
Lawmakers began their 2020 session last week by nearly unanimously repealing the tax reform law they passed in a special session in December. And you thought politics meant never having to say you’re sorry.
---
Once again, lawmakers will consider a bill that might put Utah on permanent daylight saving time and do away with the semi-annual changing of the clocks. Sure, many lawmakers may not know the time of day, but in the end it is whatever they mandate it to be.
---
Every time this issue comes up, people battle endlessly over whether to keep standard time or daylight saving time. We never hear from the people most affected — the makers of sundials.
---
Lawmakers also are considering a change to the state’s constitution, allowing them more flexibility as to when to convene the Utah Legislature’s annual session. How about this, instead: Let Utah voters decide each year if we need a legislative session at all. Lawmakers could be like volunteer firefighters. If we have an emergency need for a law, we’ll call you.
---
Last week’s impeachment trial in Washington may have been a big success. Now Americans are wondering whether they can impeach everyone back there.
---
If Republicans in Washington really wanted to get maximum exposure, they would have cast their final vote on impeachment during halftime of the Super Bowl. But then, that also was Groundhog Day. The nation may not be ready to take the risk of having to relive this over and over.
