Utah State Senators double down on anti-military stupidity:
Utah State Senate Leader Scott Jenkins angrily attacked a bill that would grant military families who have a member serving overseas for more than 200 days in a year a one year tax break on their property taxes, saying that soldiers receive "all kinds of breaks. We pay for their clothing. We allow them to shop at the PX [post exchange]. And now ... you want me to pay for their taxes on their primary residence. I’m just saying enough."
and then today, another Utah State Senator noted his opposition to a bill that would offer unemployment to those who have to quit their jobs because a family member is being transferred: "suggesting some military spouses might try to obtain jobs just before a transfer so they could enjoy unemployment benefits shortly thereafter."
Thankfully, both bills passed, but sheesh!
