Top stories this past weekend
Romney picks Ryan, sharpens debate over sick economy • Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney introduced Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate on Saturday, turning to the architect of a deeply conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending.
For many Latinos in Colorado, election day choice is to skip voting • Joie Gutierrez is Mitt Romney's problem. Not far up the highway, Barack Obama's problem is named Jaime Portillo. Both of them are eligible voters. Neither of them plans to exercise that right in November. And no amount of cajoling, convincing or campaigning will change that fact.
Broken American dream drives the vote • It's dark, early and quiet when Julian Soriano awakens, gets dressed and prepares to travel three hours to a job that won't come close to covering the monthly mortgage payment on a house he's about to lose anyway.
New state auditor won't be a CPA — is it a problem? • For the first time in 40 years, Utah is about to elect a state auditor who is not a certified public accountant.
Crackdown planned for I-15 HOV lanes • Nearly one of every six cars in the express lanes on Utah freeways are breaking the rules — twice the national average — by crossing double-white lines, not having the required number of riders or by failing to pay tolls. So the state is planning an enforcement blitz to ticket scofflaws and bring more attention to express-lane rules.
