Legislature Fun


Yesterday we had a great time at Legislature Day. It was an early morning, starting at 6:00. We checked in and then attended the Law Enforcement House Committee. Three bills were discussed and two were sent on to the House of Reps to vote on them. If the House of Reps approves them- where do the bills go from there? First one to post the answer wins (no prize - just the satisfaction that you knew the answer)!

We heard three speakers, Brett Latimer, Kyle Maynard and Dr. Joseph Ellis. 5 points to the first three people who can post to the rest of us what each of the speeches focused on - a bit of the details please.

Our Legislator, Greg Hughes, was a most gracious host and gave us a fun tour of the capitol and then sat with us for a while answering questions. I enjoyed the presentation and hope you did too!

Thanks to everyone who came! It was a great day!

Brett Latimer spoke on culture wars and how all religions derive from a trunk of good and then branch out from there. Kyle Maynard was my favorite. He talked about always striving to acheive and never giving up. awesome speaker! Dr. Joseph Ellis was really boring!! I guess his talk would have been more interesting if he had more inflection in his voice. He talked about the Finding Fathers and how they benefitted our society and goverment today.
