Assignments #62-64 – Tuesday

Assignment #62 – Boss Lift
The Utah National Guard is flying business executives to Ford Hood, Texas, on a KC-135 Air-to-Air Refueling Tanker as part of a Bosslift. It's part of the ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve), a national program to encourage companies to support National Guard & Reserve soldiers. Fort Hood is where the 1st Battalion 211th Aviation Utah National Guard is training for its upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. Photo by Trent Nelson/The Salt Lake Tribune
Rode a bus onto the tarmac, photographed a gaggle of guys getting on a plane.


Assignment #63 – Consumer Attitude Index
Randy Shumway of Zions Bank announced the bank's latest monthly estimate of the confidence of Utah consumers at a press conference Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at the Gateway location of Fanzz in Salt Lake City, Utah. Confidence is a very important, albeit under-appreciated, measure of whether the economy is recovering. Photo by Trent Nelson/The Salt Lake Tribune
Saw the best delivery at a press conference in a long time. Only two journalists there to see it (including me).


Assignment #64 – Legislature
Rep. LaVar Christensen quotes from the Bible, speaking in favor of HB316, a bill which would require a 90-day waiting period for divorce between couples with children during the afternoon legislative session in the House Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at the state capitol in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Watched a politician quote from the Bible while pushing for the restoration of a 90-day waiting period for couples seeking divorce. It passed the House and was sent to the Senate.

      Thanks Stephen. I was thinking about this the other day and wondering if they would approve a 90-day waiting period for weddings.
