Panel OKs $51M for Utah

Now we know why. I realize some of them sound good, but with what money?
We need someone like Jason Chaffetz in the Senate. The closest one running is Cherilyn Eagar.
I know Utahns often want change for change's sake, but the US Senate operates on seniority, and we would be foolish to relinquish the seniority of Sens. Bennett & Hatch. The 200+ year-old system operates on seniority, so we would be wise to play the best game by the system's rules.
Bennett & Hatch are helping our cities, our universities, and our economy become the best in the Union. These politicians are far from perfect, but having them in Washington is much, much better than having "new blood" that will take at least two terms to gain the seniority to do anything of value for Utah.
The up-and-comers should wait for an open Senate seat rather than eating their own in an unhelpful political battle.

water down the toilet.
Here in Scotland we have developed a toilet which flushes on 1.5 litre of water and really cleans the bowl. Unlike your current standard toilet which flushes on 6 litres and often fails to clean effectively.
Anyone interested?
