On this day, Tax day, when many of us are in mourning over how much money we have to pay the government, we learn who the real pigs are. Tom Schatz is the president of Citizens Against Government Waste. He shared who the biggest oinkers are, and where Utah falls on the list, this morning on KSL. We are well above the average at $54 per person when the national average is $29 per person. Click here to hear the interview with Tom and go to Citizens Against Government Waste for more info.
There are parties today, but they're not celebrating tax day. They're protesting. Several tea parties have been organized around the state (and the nation), including one at the Federal Building in Salt Lake City today starting at noon. The organizer, Adam Gardiner, joined Grant and Amanda this morning. He said the movement is bi-partisan, including people who voted on both sides of the aisle. He also said the protest is not really about taxes - it's about spending. Find out more. Click here to hear the interview.
