| Hatch Favors Stem Cell Funding, Draws Pro-Life Ire |
| In a move that surprised many and shocked Pro-life
advocates, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch sent a memo to President George
W. Bush outlining his support for stem cell research. Although many
in the pro-life movement have fought research using the cells, which
are obtained from embryos, Hatch (R-UT) is part of a group of at
least 5 other Republican Senators, including fellow LDS Church member
Gordon Smith (R-OR), and 30 House Republicans who favor the research. |
| NYC Mormon Named to IMF |
| New York attorney Randal Quarles was named Friday by US
President George W. Bush as the US Executive Director of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF). Quarles, a native of Roy, Utah, leads the financial
institutions group and is a partner at New York law firm Davis, Polk and
Wardwell. He was also the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for
financial institutions policy in the George Bush (Sr.) administration. His
appointment must be confirmed by the US Senate. |
| Romney Will Consider Running in Utah |
| Mitt Romney has suffered through years of
accusations regarding bribery, favoritism, and disgruntled donors.
And all of that in spite of his failure to be elected to public
office. Romney has spent the last few years picking up the pieces of
the scandal-plagued Olympic bid and preparing Utah to be the host of
the Olympics. Now that his arguably successful stint as the erstwhile
savior of the 2002 Winter Games is drawing to a close, it's time for
Romney to consider what he might do next. |
