It is time to drive the money changers from our temple. Utah is the only state where the lobbyists have their own offices within the state house. In the bowels of the Senate office building there is a room, a large room, where lobbyists may go, to entertain, to cajole, to bribe.
These are professional, well-heeled lobbyists; you and I are not welcome. There is something unseemly about lobbyists living cheek-by-jowl with senators and representatives. It’s the very image of the Biblical money changers in the temple. You want legislation, pay us and we’ll see you get what you want.
