Suzanne E. Smith Rognon Passes Away

My sister passed away on Monday, Jun 26th. She was in a bad car accident on June 18, 2007 and was taken to LDS Hospital. She spent the rest of her life in the ICU. We went up and visited her regularly over those few days. She never recovered enough to really talk.

I do want to thank all the nurses and staff at LDS Hospital for their kindness and caring. Everyone was so wonderful.

Also a thank you to her friends who supported her through out her life.

Goodbye sister.

House members seek $4,400 pay raise - Yahoo! News

At least one of the Representatives from Utah has a bit of integrity.



House members seek $4,400 pay raise - Yahoo! News: "'I don't think this is the right time for members of Congress to be allowing the pay raise to go through without even an up-or-down vote,' said Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah. 'We need to show the American people we are willing to make some sacrifices ... that we recognize there's a struggle for some in today's economy.'"

The article also says that law makers make less than the lobbyists. The problem isn't congressional salaries but the influence of the lobbyists. If Abramoff is not enough to convince you, then consider this question: Why would people we willing to pay the lobbyists so much if they weren't effective at what they do?
