Date: Tue, 18 Jul 1995 18:42:17 -0400 (EDT) From: David Casti Subject: ACTION ALERT: Salt Lake County Submitted by: jjy@XNET.COM only. The Salt Lake County Board of Commissioners is planning to consider a bill at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 19, 1995, in room N1100 of the county Government Center at 2001 South State Street in Salt Lake City which would amend two county nondiscrimination ordinances which were adopted in 1992 by repealing the protected categories of age, marital status, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, race and religion. The bill would protect only those categories already protected by state and federal law which don't include marital status or sexual orientation. There are three commissioners. Commissioner Mary Callaghan (R) might SUPPORT this bill. Commissioner Randy Horiuchi (D) sponsored the original ordinances three years ago and OPPOSES this bill. Commissioner Brent Overson (R) is the chair of the Board of Commissioners and might SUPPORT OR OPPOSE this bill. Here's what you can do: Here are some facsimile and telephone numbers for key individuals in the legislative fight over this bill. The fight against this bill needs your help in calling and faxing letters expressing your outrage to the county commissioners and business and tourism leaders. Warn them that passage of this bill would make you reconsider your future visits or relocation to Salt Lake County or purchasing from county businesses. Call AND fax your opposition to this change NOW. The vote will be Wednesday morning. Keep those faxes and telephones humming!
