Maybe you’ve seen a yellow 2002 Corvette with Wisconsin license plates “LEMN LAW” and wondered who was behind the wheel. It’s self-described lemon law lawyer Vince Megna. Megna’s car is featured on the cover of his new book, “Bring on Goliath: Lemon Law Justice in America.” Fittingly, the car is a replacement for a red 2000 Corvette he purchased earlier that turned out to be, you guessed it, a lemon. Megna took time Tuesday to speak with reporter Jamaal Abdul-Alim about his book and his experiences with the auto industry, the “Goliath” he has repeatedly beaten in court. |

A whole bunch of new laws to obey
The bulk of each Legislature's work takes effect 60 days after the general session ends in early March. And that's May 3 this year. Most of the new laws deal with the day-to-day workings of government and society. And a few have a decidedly political bent — the so-called "message bills" aimed at letting Utahns know where the Legislature stands on parental rights, abortion and other controversial issues. Two of those deal with abortion. SB68 bans any use of state monies for abortions, and SB69 bans the controversial procedure known as partial-birth abortion. Abortion rights advocates have pledged to challenge both bills in
Creative Consumer: Lemon Laws
To the general public, a "lemon" is slang for a crummy car — one that gives you a sour feeling and puts a grimace on your face. To the government, a lemon is a crummy new car.
