Welcome to The Senate Site

By Lyle Hillyard
Utah State Senator, District 25

My garden (except for the carrots and onions) is really growing well this year. I just dug my first new potatoes and the peas and zucchini will be ready for the first picking during the week. My brother-in-law, who usually helps me, has left for an 18 month mission with his wife in Edinburgh, Scotland so I am on my own until next April. I am glad that I have found out how much space the pumpkins (8 hills) and the banana squash (3 hills) take up. While it is sometimes hard to find people to help work in the garden, it is never hard to find people who will help me eat. I think I learned that while very young in reading the story of the Little Red Hen.

This is one of the best arugments I have ever heard in support of removing the sales tax on food. Thank you, senator!

You've been snorting the BHT again, haven't you, RSF? No one taxes a garden. Government plays a starring role in subsiding, producing, transporting, preserving, inspecting and protecting your flavorless factory food, from your stinking factory farms. Give them their measly two percent and tell them to go to hell. They've earned it.

Don't like sales tax on food? Learn to grow your own, just like Grandpa did. And buy from local farmers. It tastes better and it's better for you.
