Hey everyone!
The Democrat Party has a survey online to learn about the important issues of their constituents. One of the questions deal with the bill regarding smoking in cars with children. Please take the survey and vote in favor! At the end it asks for any comments, so reiterate the importance of this bill there! You can find the survey HERE!
Next, there are some town hall meetings coming up, in which you can talk with legislators! Please attend one (or many!) to let them know how you feel about tobacco, i.e., smoking in cars with children, flavored tobacco, and funding for the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program. Here are the dates:
Saturday, Feb 12:
- Sen. Davis & Reps. Cosgrove, Wiley, Wheatley, and Hemingway
9am, Desert Star Theater, Murray, UT 84107
- Sen. Mayne & Rep Hendrickson
12pm, Eddie P. Mayne Kearns Senior Center, Kearns, UT 84118
Tuesday, February 15:

Hey friends!
It has already been a whole year since our last legislative session. A lot has kept me busy, which is my excuse for not updating the blog since... lets see... June. I know, its ridiculous. Hopefully this upcoming year will be more productive for the blog. I haven't written on the blog, but things HAVE been happening. And things WILL BE happening! The session starts in approximately 30 hours! That is when all the fun begins.
I wish I had more to tell you about what we will be working on this session, but I cannot. I have met with some representatives regarding a few issues, and I have reviewed the legislative website. Other than that, information will be coming in soon! Until then, I can tell you about a few of the issues we will pursue this session:
- Smoking in cars with children
- Flavored tobacco
- Saving tobacco prevention funding
There may be more, but we shall start with those. All three were issues that didn't get resolved last year, so feel free to take a gander through the blog posts of last session to become semi-familiar with what is happening, and I will be on soon enough with more information to catch us all up to speed! Until then, get some rest because it is going to be a tiresome 1.5 months!
Cheers!
