OGDEN — Mike Taylor would like people to understand a few things that are crystal clear to him:

People with disabilities need to know they can find employment if they work hard and get really good at a skill that interests them.

And employers need to know that disabled people make great employees because they love their job, they are rarely late or unfocused, and they know the value of a job, so they are loyal.

OGDEN -- Cash is king for small businesses, but in the end, any payment will do because, after all, money is money. Haley Zenger is the owner of The Queen Bee, a book and game shop on Historic 25th Street in Ogden. About 80 percent of her business is in credit cards, and she takes checks written out for less than $50, but is glad when customers use cash.

OGDEN -- A group of stakeholders put the brakes on a proposed $156 million streetcar system Wednesday so a city council consultant can review a study associated with the project.

The stakeholders include representatives from the city, South Ogden, Weber County Commission, Weber Area Council of Governments, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Utah Transit Authority, Utah Department of Transportation, McKay-Dee Hospital, Weber State University and Ogden/Weber Chamber of Commerce.

The group agreed to delay work on the project at the city council's request so consultant GB Arrington, who works for PB PlaceMaking Inc., based in Portland, Ore., can determine the viability of federal funding for the project and its potential economic impacts.

Immigration is a federal issue and must be dealt with by the federal government -- this is a common response by community activists to bills proposed in the state Legislature. The response was the same for legislation proposed by state Sen. Luz Robles, D-Salt Lake City, that would allow undocumented immigrants to live and work in Utah as long as they registered.
