| Utah's Cannon Takes on Census Bureau over Missionary Count |
| Utah Representative Chris Cannon yesterday opened a new
front in Utah's war with the US Census Bureau over an additional seat in the
US House of Representatives. Cannon introduced legislation in Congress that
would freeze funding for a key Census Bureau project, effectively holding
the project hostage until the Bureau makes progress on a plan for counting
American citizens living overseas. |
| With Hatch Out of Majority, Hansen Gains Power in Utah Delegation |
| Rep. Jim Hansen's recent chairmanship of the House
Resources Committee still has the 68-year-old Utah Republican
thinking of the folks back home when he wants his anti-abortion vote
recorded. He says he is still one of them after 20 years since coming
to Washington. He may try to downplay Sen. Orrin Hatch's recent
ouster as Judiciary chairman in the Senate, but everyone knows Hansen
is challenging Hatch as the new powerhouse of Utah's congressional
delegation. |
| Harry Reid is Key Influence in the New Balance of Power |
| As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah was likely the most
influential and powerful political figure who was also a member of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Until two weeks ago.
Now, with the Democratic Party in control of the Senate, Democratic
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada moves into the spotlight as the most
influential church member in politics. |
