Grievances

Having developed a massive goose egg from banging my head against the wall, I have decided to create this page as a sort of therapy.  The goal is to list all of the arrogant, stupid, and/or despicable things the members of the Utah State Legislature have done starting September 1, 2009.

Enjoy!
