***LDS Church liquor stands***

What is that? Like a lemonade stand but selling liquor out front of a house of worship?

Now, the question of LDS Church influence on the Utah Legislature is always present.

Duh!

The state is 57% Mormon!!

I'd HOPE it would have influence!


How much 'influence' does Islam have on the ruling party of Saudi Arabia?

Part of that deal was the installation in new bars and restaurants of the so-called “Zion Curtain,” a 7-foot barrier that keeps patrons from seeing liquor bottles and alcoholic drinks being mixed.

A new UtahPolicy poll by Dan Jones & Associates finds that three-fourths of the faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say their church has “about the right amount of influence” on state lawmakers’ political decisions. But when you ask the same influence question of non-Mormons, you find super-majorities – 79 percent of Catholics, 84 percent of Protestants – say the Mormon Church has too much influence on Capitol Hill.

Just the faithful ones, huh? How did they know which ones were faithful?

I’d say too much by 84%.

How Much Influence Does the LDS Church Have on the Legislature? Depends on Who You Ask

That's simple, how much money do they have? Our government is for sale.
