1. Jeff Fox said:

What priority would you make the restoration of dental and vision benefits for medicaid consumers?

2. Sophia said:

Are you in favor of tax payer funding for a stadium for REAL Salt Lake? If yes, how much tax payer funding is appropriate?

3. Keri said:

I see from the newspapers that Mr. Ewing has been the spokesperson for REAL Salt Lake and is their registered lobbyist. The original proposal for REAL stadium funding was nixed by Democrat County Mayor Peter Corroon. Did you support him in this?

4. Patrick Cone said:

For Mr. Ewing: How can you serve as a legislator and retain your lobbying career, for instance the Real Soccer team?

5. David Andersen said:

Are you both for taxing services to generate tax revenues? If so, won't this put a burden on small service businesses to now collect, account for, and pay these taxes to the tax commission?

6. David Andersen said:

Are you both is favor of a flat tax? If not, are either of your in favor of tax reform to reduce the number of dependents, itemized deductions like property tax and the amount of charitable donations under the income tax code?

7. Michael Andrews said:

Mr. Ewing: Why is it not fair to characterize your efforts as a lobbyist on behalf of Soccer Real as just another example of the Jack Abramoff style of "money will buy you what you want" politics but with a Democratic label that you justly condemn in Rob Weyher's effort to buy you out of the campaign?

8. Michael Andrews said:

For Christine Johnson and Josh Ewing.

Do either of you see a distinction in the type of lobbying done by organizations such as Utah Teachers and those supporting improved health benefits as opposed to lobbying on behalf of private companies resulting in their financial gain?
