| Judge's Ruling Will Delay Resolution of Census Lawsuit |
| US District Court Judge Dee Benson declined a
request to impanel a special three-judge court to hear Utah's challenge to
the Census count, and in the process delayed the resolution of the case.
Benson ruled that calling the three judge panel required a challenge to the
count's constitutionality, but since Utah hadn't raised such a challenge, he
would have to hear the case himself. |

| Mormon Arizona State Representative Seeks to Cut Dental Association Budget |
| PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Rep. Karen Johnson, R-Mesa, has proposed cutting
the $750,000 budget of the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners because
they haven't required Dentists to disclose the potential dangers of
mercury fillings and root canals. Johnson, along with several other
conservative Mormon legislators, says she wants to give patients more
choice, "I believe in a patient's choice. I think holistic dentistry
is fine." Johnson's critics say she is putting spirituality over
science, and her suggestion has angered the Arizona Dental
Association. |
