Utah legislators conducted a lot of business in 45 days this session. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of lawmakers. It's a tough job that comes with few plaudits and a lot of criticism. Also, the pay's not too great, although most of us would love to have the benefits they enjoy.

(UNEDITED)The other day after my son-in-law had surgery, my daughter was bringing him home from the hospital. As she most always does, she turned onto a small roadway by a prominent credit union (of which they bank) to avoid the traffic. Her husband was in pain from the surgery and she needed to get him home. He took ten minutes of laughing in his car and then came back. NO signs have ever been posted saying: No thru traffic, No Clearfield ordinance, No nothing. The policeman just told her it was a city ordinance. So the City of Clearfield gives out tickets unbeknownst to the driver that this is the ordinance and we should all know it?
