All unfair in gender, politics - Salt Lake Tribune

}
The 2008 real-life soap opera playing out in the Beehive State Republican Party have taken on a new subplot - allegations from one Republican campaigner that political party leadership believe women should remain place and go forth political relation to the strong, strapping work force in their lives. Former House campaigner Lisa Shepherd wrote on ConservativesUT@ yahoogroups.com that state Party President Stan Lockhart tried to speak her out of ambitious incumbent Keith Grover in Provo's Legislative District 41 "after helium told me how difficult it is to be a adult female legislator."
Lockhart's wife, Becky, and first cousin Lorie Fowlke are both state representatives from Beehive State County, and Shepherd said Lockhart told her he was speaking from experience about the pressure levels on the family. Lockhart told me that the political party promotes women to run for public business office and the conversations were misconstrued. He said his advice was given to Shepherd before she filed to run and that he just wanted to share personal penetrations on the pressure levels from legislative service in his ain family. At the time, Shepherd was a legislative territory chairwoman, a place typically expected to back up the incumbent. Lockhart said that after Shepherd filed, he tried to be just to all Republican candidates. Respective Republican Party campaigners challenging officeholders in Beehive State County have got complained that they were not given the same treatment Advertisement

as the officeholders by the county party, a complaint that still looks to be hanging in the air above Happy Valley. Side effects: With Gov. Jon Hunter Jr. announcing an ambitious alteration of most state authorities services to a four-day workweek, he was jump to undergo some bumps along the route to do that happen. Here's one. Hunter have said that one end is to salvage his employees some money because of the high cost of combustible by cutting out one twenty-four hours of drive to work. He also desires to cut down pollution from auto exhaust fumeses by cutting down on the commutes. But quite a few state workers take the 348 express autobus to the state Washington every morning time from Occident Jordan. Because they now will be coming to work earlier and returning place later on the four years they will work, they won't be able to take that bus. Most have got announced to their chap autobus travellers they will be forced to begin drive on those four days. A Perch Serling moment: Since Far Occident Depository Financial Institution installed its new electrical mark at 200 S. Main, diners at Bambara Restaurant across the street might anticipate a barefaced Sigourney Weaver, the foreign crusader, to flop through the window at any moment. The visible light from the mark projects an eery greenness chromaticity throughout the dining room at night, making those aspirant histrions who are eking out a life by serving mulct repasts in the Bambara Restaurant look, well, out of this world. prolly@sltrib.com
