As Utah lawmakers propose doubling state spending for school vouchers to $162 million, they are also seeking to impose new restrictions on how families can spend their $8,000 Utah Fits All scholarships.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department
