Efforts to prove that thesis failed Karrie Galloway executive director of Planned Parenthood of Utah said she has been "embarrassed" by the amount of time state lawmakers spend on abortion at the expense of serious discussions about preventing unintended pregnancies She said she appreciates Anderson using his pulpit to "do what is right" And to do what is classic Rocky This latest move has already rankled the City Cotmcit Chairman Dave Buhler — who often leads an majority on most issues — has threatened to cut $50000 for a city lobbyist's salary at the 2005 Legislature Why bother said BuMer The mayor has alienated everyone who matters on the Hill Better to flush the money down the commode Anderson cares not This is what Salt Lake expects indeed even values — the guy who speaks out and rides straight on against "Utah Nice" He will never win a statewide election which pretty much cements his role as Mayor for Life And turns out he is no sleeping dog hmulleit(OltribAcent - it - I ' hot-butto- n v i - 1 - i 'fi' k4 I ( i 1 1 I' i 14 i i i i' i ' fr r ' '' I IF - 1 - gkt - '4 t '' i IL - ' ' ' r - ' "' -- - d' ' ' illi1 ( g 11 See SUSPECT C8 1 0t ' - Policy statement: He says the state should se!: tougher goals on conservation - 4 t ' BY NICOLE WARBURTON Me Safi Lake Tribune OF '' ' ' 'T I '' kt (' !
