Rep. Bishop Speaks with the Senate

The senate welcomed a special visitor to the senate floor today. Rep. Rob Bishop, our representative in the U.S. House of Representatives for Utah's first distict, gave the members of the senate a report on the activity taking place in the federal government back in Washington D.C.

Rep. Bishop spoke on his plan to promote federalism this year in his efforts with the United States Congress. Rep. Bishop stated that federalism, "is not only the solution to our problems, it is the salvation of this country going into the future." Rep. Bishop continued, "...if you want creativity and if you want efficiency, and if you want the problem solved where people actually have access, this is the level in which it has to take place, not in Washington."
