Hi all,

Just a reminder we’ll be back at Piper Down in our usual spot (back room, right side as you walk in) starting at 6. As always there’s plenty of world, national, and local news to talk about!

See you tomorrow!

*WE ARE MEETING AT HANDELBAR NOT AT PIPER DOWN*

Due to the St. Patrick’s holiday weekend we will not be meeting at Piper Down this week. It is their busiest weekend and we normally don’t get together but we decided to do so this year and Dave said he would reserve some spots for us at Handelbar bar at 751 N 300 W in Salt Lake City starting at our normal time at 6 pm. Please join us at 6 or whenever you can get there until 9pm. There will be a band that starts at 9pm. Handelbar is a great place with great drinks and food. Handelbar

There is always enough for us to talk about with the legislative session and national news. The state Senate overwhelmingly approved 6% ABV beer in grocery stores but the House didn’t. The US Senate just terminated Lord Cheetos national emergency over border wall funding including Utah’s senators. However Cheeto said he will veto it and there is not enough votes in the house and senate to override it. So was it just a dog and pony show by our senators? Beto O’Rourke said he is in for President in 2020. So we have a lot of front runners running in the primaries. Is his candidacy a good thing considering his lack of national leadership? Who knows. Come talk to me and everyone else about it this Friday March 15th at HANDELBAR NOT PIPER DOWN. LOL

See you Friday night,
Christian, Laura, Jeremiah,
Dan, Pam, Jason

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEXT Friday the 15th, we’ll be meeting at the HandleBar in the Marmalade neighborhood, because Piper Down will be crazy for the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The address is 751 N 300 W.

So much happening at the state legislature as we head into the final week. The tax bill is dead, though it’s rumored that there will be a special session to address it.

And then just this afternoon a small group of young LGBT activists staged a sit-in in front of the Governor’s office to protest his approval of a substitute bill by Rep Lisonbee that greatly watered down the anti-conversion therapy bill (a good summary from Robert Gherke here). Their protest was fruitful – Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox came out and sat with them to talk, and in the end gave them a written apology from the Governor.

In national news, the big news this afternoon was about the first sentencing of Paul Manafort – just 47 months!

How do you feel about these things? Come to your weekly Liberal therapy session at the Piper Down this Friday at the Piper Down!

See you tomorrow!
Jeremiah, Laura,
Jason, Christian,
Pam & Dan
