Politics Up Close: State Rep. Greg Hughes
Legislators are nearing a compromise on alcohol policy as the legislature draws to a close in just four days. As it stands now, one bill in the Senate would require restaurants to prepare drinks in a back room or build a ten foot wall around the bar, a different bill in the House would get rid of the private club designation and allow Utahns to simply go to a bar without paying to get in like they can in every other state. At issue is lawmakers' concern about drunken driving incidents increasi...

Salt Lake County Council Chairman Joe Hatch regrets saying last week that Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker was behaving like a "butthead," but the fact remains that a fair amount of tension exists between the two governments. The county wants the city to support a bill that would protect the borders of unincorporated townships; instead, the city has decided to oppose it, despite the fact that the city has received the county's support numerous times in the past year.
