Twitter is also abuzz over the breaking news at #utpol and #utleg.   Unfortunately for his most avid twitter followers, @gopTODD (Senator Todd Weiler of Davis County) was not allowed to live-tweet the event.

The Senate Minority Caucus plans to hold their elections in the near future, pending the appointment of a new Senator to fill Salt Lake County Mayor-elect Ben McAdam’s seat.  More info on that in this morning’s Utah Policy Daily – here and here.
