President Bush just announced this morning that he will go through with bailing out the auto industry to the tune of $17 billion, just like he and Congress bailed out the banks. All of Utah's

special session to take care of a larger deficit for this fiscal year than they initially thought there would be during the first session. What does the governor think of all this? Well, who better
