Even if there were Ethic problems here the legislators will find Hughes not guilty.

We need to vote all of them out, D;s and R's.

The only reason for all the political side shows is to distract voters with childish tattle tale games. Did you know that the Marriage Protection Amendment made it to the ballot by only one vote on straight party lines? All Democrats against all Republicans. If one more Democrat had been in the senate, Utah would have no marriage protection amendment. The stakes are huge for the competing political philosophies and that appears to have unleashed the very worst in politicians.

You're nuts. Check your facts. The bill was passed in the senate 20 to 7 and in the house 58 to 14 with some Democrats voting in favor. There has never been an EVEN split on party lines in the state legislature because the Republicans are a super majority there.

The ONE vote you may be referring to was on the voucher issue--the one where the allegations are flying about pressure and bribery.

Interesting that the supposed misdeed happed in 2006 and yet the Dems are bringing it up just shy of the 2008 election. I wonder if Phil Riesen has ulterior motives, no that can't be, a former newsman exaggerating events. The sad thing is the games people play can hurt individuals quite a bit. If it really was a problem this issue would have been addressed immediately and not 5 weeks before the election.
