“Attending the Legislative Breakfast last Thursday was enlightening. At times I feel the challenges of having my views represented on the state level. After listening to the thoughtful questions posed by members of the United Way and Women’s Philanthropic Network, I was encouraged by the level of engagement offered by the panel and I appreciated that my concerns regarding our state budget, air quality, and immigration reform were shared by those present. Likewise, I feel a progressive voice that calls upon the citizens of Utah to take responsibility for our community (such as a higher gas tax, as suggested by Senator Romero to reduce driving) is key to shifting our attitudes as a culture. We must realize that each decision we make affects us all. I was glad to have this opportunity to hear from our state representatives and I look forward to more opportunities for legislative dialog.”
