I texted both of my legislators the current talking point. It is so quick and easy and yet direct communication from their constituents is the most effective way to influence them. Please get out your texts!

Talking Point 4/1 to 4/10! Please send to state legislators.

Data Republican looked at IRS 990 filings to determine that Mormon Women for Ethical Government received $905,000 from out-of-state funding by organizations that do not hold the same values that utahns do. Please support legislation that requires disclosure of out-of-state funding for organizations that lobby the Utah State legislature.

Thank you to Teena Horlacher and the Davis County Conservatives for organizing a great event tonight with candidates for commissioner and county clerk.

The caucus system gets so many citizens involved. There were about 150 people there.

I was on the Shades of Jade Podcast talking about our form of government and protecting our individual liberties.

Let's get this passed in Utah!

FEDERAL APPEALS COURT RULES IOWA CAN BAN LGBT INDOCTRINATION IN SCHOOLS. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Iowa may enforce a 2023 law prohibiting LGBT indoctrination in elementary school and excluding sexually explicit material from public school libraries.

That is so exciting! That is a miracle that he can talk again. Thank you to Elon Musk for this technology that will absolutely change lives.

We have Medicaid fraud right here in the State of Utah!

A new audit was released from the Office of the Utah State Auditor
(the Office) which highlights significant issues with the state’s Skilled Nursing Facility Upper
Payment Limit (SNF UPL) Medicaid program, revealing that only 49% of the nearly $1 billion
intended for patient care was used at the nursing facilities from 2016 to 2024. The remaining
51% was retained by the Non-State Government Entities (NSGEs) as administrative fees.

I am at an open house right now for Karianne Lisonbee. She is talking about where she has served in the past. She has been strong on crime and participated in a lot of judicial reform. Justice Reform Initiative was passed before her time in the Utah legislature. It decriminalized a lot of crime. It made Utah less safe and she has played an important part in undoing it. There is still work to be done.

Karianne is talking about omnibus spending bills. These are the worst policy at the federal level. They are full of spending for special interest groups. She said she will not support them.

We should support Mike Lee and light up their phone lines in support of the SAVE America Act. It only takes a minute to leave a voice message.

Here’s the “cheat sheet” I use. Dial +1(202) 22… then the number in the ‘phone’ column.

The Utah State Auditor's office just released an audit that showed only 49% of the nearly one billion dollars intended for the Skilled Nursing Facility Medicaid program actually went to patient care. The rest was used for administrative costs. This is the misuse of medicaid funds. Please work with the citizens to ensure this is corrected.

We have a lot of work to do right here in Utah to stop fraud. This audit shows that over 500 million was used to administer the Skilled Nursing Facility Program. That should make every citizen's blood boil. Think of all the families barely making it and the money that is being taken from them to pay for these outlandish "administrative" costs. This is an issue Utah Citizens for the Constitution will be working on. We represent the tax payer.

UVU should be ashamed for asking such a controversial speaker for graduation. It doesn't put the school in a good light.

This was in the email update from the Public Interest Legal Foundation:

Voter roll access lawsuit against Utah heads to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Last week, PILF filed its opening brief before the court, arguing in part: “Utah is refusing to comply with federal law making the requested election records public. Instead, the defendant only allows a fraction of the public records to be seen by the public. The rest is concealed. In the State’s largest county, Salt Lake County, nearly one-third of the public records are withheld from the public. Concealing these records violates federal law.” Read the brief here.

In Bountiful there was a zoning meeting last week with a proposal to change the zoning of an area near my home from four dwellings an acre to mixed use. They want to tear down the existing duplex and on 1/3 of an acre build 7 townhomes 35' tall and a coffee shop down a bit and across from Boulton Elementary. This push for density housing must stop. It is not creating affordable housing, but it is making a lot of money for developers. That is what this comes down to. This is happening all over Utah. It is detrimental to our communities.

In Bountiful there are 123 available rentals and there 70 properties (condo, townhomes, single family ) for sale right now. It is very important that citizens know we do not have a current shortage of housing or rentals. We do have a shortage of affordable housing. What the government is doing in Utah is not making housing affordable. With the rampant use of Public Infrastructure Districts it is making housing more expensive. PIDs must be stopped. It is the developers that are making massive amount of profits. Do remember that some of the legislators are benefiting financially from PIDs.
