#utleg — Public Fediverse posts

People giving Jim Dabakis Jr. a pass not because he is trying not to be an a-hole but now directs it at the "right" targets and has the "right" politics. Miss me with that. The old posts are basically the same as the new ones. Just ask his #utleg colleauges. #utpol

On this day, 30 January 1973, Burgess Owens was drafted out of the University of Miami 13th overall by the New York Jets. He went on to play 10 season in the NFL for the Jets and the Oakland/LA Raiders. He played Defensive Back and amassed 137 starts, 30 interceptions (including 4 pick-sixes), and was a member of the 1980 Champion Oakland Raiders, leading all players in tackles in the Super Bowl. 1/

Not really stoked about the #utleg allocating nearly $2B towards professional sports teams. Those deals never pay for themselves. Make pro sports pay its own way, full stop. #utpol

Permanent DST would push Utah sunrise to 9am. Permanent Standard Time instead would keep morning light for safety and business. Please tell state legislators to file this bill to end clock change the federally approved way! https://savestandardtime.com/legislation/?j=ut #UTLeg
