The City of Taylorsville held its 12th annual awards banquet last March to honor extraordinary residents and employees of 2007. Senator Karen Mayne received an award from Mayor Russ Wall for meritorious service to the community as a legislator and as a volunteer. Click here to read the complete story. Congratulations, Senator!
Senator Karen Mayne was featured today in The Salt Lake Tribune in an article entitled, “Karen Mayne tries to carry on for beloved late husband as conscience of the Senate.”
Well, she’s not just “trying.” She’s doing it. Senator Mayne knows the process and cares about her constituents–just like her late husband, Senator Ed Mayne. She hardly needs coaching at all.
She has already surveyed her district and held a standing-room-only town meeting last weekend, attended by over 100 people. Senator Mayne has defined her priorities and is ably filling the shoes of her husband, Senator Ed Mayne.

District 5
Transportation is the life stream of our citizens. Without dependable and accessible transportation, commerce and our quality of life would be in jeopardy. We as citizens require and deserve affordable and effective modes of mobility. Keeping our highways in good repair is a must. Encouraging and supporting all avenues of transportation are critical. Our goal is to maintain free-flow travel for our state. Planning ahead, making wise and bold decisions, will guarantee good transportation policies. We favor more east-west highways in Salt Lake County and toll-free travel.
