SALT LAKE CITY — Republican leaders will publicly discuss the process of impeachment for Utah Attorney General John Swallow during a caucus meeting Wednesday.

In an interview with FOX 13, House Speaker Becky Lockhart said it could be potentially historic.

“Some are saying let’s impeach him tomorrow or yesterday if you will, and there are others that say, no, nothing has happened that rises to that level. We need to wait,” she said.

Lockhart is referring to Republican House members; some want the state’s newly elected Attorney General out, while others think that’s too extreme. Regardless, the allegations against the AG are serious enough for the legislature to be weighing its option of impeachment.

“In terms of this serious, or potentially this historic, not sure it’s happened in a very a long time,” Lockhart said.

SALT LAKE CITY — A program that gives Utah children with autism intensive, individual support is open for enrollment again.

The Medicaid Autism Waiver Program is a pilot program by the Utah Department of Health, and it was funded by the Utah State Legislature to run to the end of fiscal year 2014. Utah has the highest rate of autism in the nation.

Enrollment opened Tuesday and will remain open until July 12. The program treats approximately 250 children between the ages of 2 and 6, and there are currently 35 openings to be filled.

The program launched in late 2012, and Health Department officials said parents and children in the program are seeing positive results. The program provides individual support for children with autism as well as respite care for families.

SALT LAKE CITY – Warmer weather can bring unwanted guests into backyards, and rattlesnakes are among the animals looking for shelter and shade.

The season is still early, but there have already been several reports of rattlesnake bites. Reptile Rescue is a non-profit organization that removes snakes free of charge, and they said they receive about a dozen calls each week.

“When food is more abundant you usually have more snakes, and we had a lot last year,” Jim Dix of Reptile Rescue said. “This year it is just starting to warm up, and we will start seeing an increase in snakes.”

Dix said a rattlesnake bite can be a very costly experience.

“The anti-venom is about $8,000 a vial, and they start you off with six vials,” he said. “$48,000 right off the bat with no hospital bill, so it’s an expensive lesson to learn. And even after you’ve been bit you can still have side effects.”
