Many of Utah's most influential policy leaders will meet Tuesday to discuss the impact of the 2008 Legislature's decisions that affect business, the economy and taxes at the annual Taxes Now conference. It's organized by a conservative, pro-business group. Midday Metro goes to the source with the president of the Utah Taxpayers Association, Senator Howard Stephenson.

The conference will recognize Salt Lake-based Black Diamond Equipment as a Global Pacesetter. Midday Metro finds out why with the company's chief financial officer, Robert Peay, and Mark Garfield, Zions Bank International Banking Department.

I find it interesting that Rep. Stevenson admits to vote trading in the legislature in regards to the Real stadium and school vouchers. So it's possible our legislators had this conversation? "You vote for school vouchers, which taxpayers don't want. And I'll vote for the Real stadium, which taxpayers don't want."
