Trump calls anti-Kavanaugh protesters ‘paid professionals.' Herbert calls special session to deal with medical marijuana issue. Utah now has five women heading colleges.
Happy Friday. President Donald Trump this morning accused the protesters demonstrating against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of being “paid professionals” and part of a smear campaign funded by left-leaning donors. The protesters have swarmed the Capitol complex and are confronting senators, including Sen. Orrin Hatch, in the public hallways. [Politico]
Topping the news: Gov. Gary Herbert will call a special session in November to have the Legislature take up a compromise proposal for allowing medical marijuana no matter how voters decide on Proposition 2 on Election Day.
