This Week’s Trivia Winner
Several people took a shot at answering Dave Schneider’s question: Marty Stephens’ three terms as speaker of the Utah House of Representative is the record length of time in that office. During the 50 years, or 25 legislative terms, preceding Stephens becoming speaker, 23 different legislators served as speaker — 21 of them for just single terms. Name the only two speakers during this period to serve two terms.
There were a lot of good guesses, and most of them got one of the former speakers right. But only Douglas Devore got both of them: Norm Bangerter and Mel Brown. He gets to come up with the next trivia question.
