Rocky Anderson on the LDS Church: "It's the only organization, I think, that seems to automatically get its way among most elected officials." The Salt Lake Tribune bills yanked after church speaks up Rocky ruffled: "Everyone knows that's the way it is" On Wednesday, Anderson held his last public forum on bridging the divide among Mormons and others and one theme was the alienation some non-Mormons feel when they believe Mormon values run the state. To heal, Anderson said it is "crucial" to move away public officials allowing the church to "control" public policy. Anderson adds that he would "like to see a council that's going to do the right things by the city rather than jump to the tune of whoever might call from the LDS Church." The percentage of active Mormons in the Legislature is far higher than that of the statewide population. perception of private agreements between the church and the so-called secular elective body has at times caused apoplexy among those who believe their voices are ignored because of the church-state relationship. two officials in the LDS Church's public relations department phoned two senators while they were on the floor and told them privately the church did not want the bill to pass. The session ended and the bill died without a vote. "I was informed that it was basically dead on arrival after a council member spoke with a representative of the LDS Church," Anderson said. |

SLC is also the only place I know of this side of the Iron curtain that actually has a "Free Speech Permit" you can apply for at City Hall
Since everyone knows the LDS Church has great Authority over the Government, & makes back room deals with the Goverment of SLC & the State it has been called the ZION Curtain.
BLAINE: The LDS Church really throws the SPs a lot of curved balls, in this game, huh? LOL They just don't play fair at all, according to Kevin.
