The Standard-Examiner this morning has a very interesting op ed piece by Mr. Don Gale, an editorial writer for KSL radio and TV.
Mr. Gale begins thusly:
July is the month we celebrate citizenship and patriotism and pioneers and other soul-stirring recollections of our great heritage. But Utah held an election not long ago, and fewer citizens showed up to vote than show up at college football games on a typical Saturday afternoon in September. It’s another indication of how badly broken the political system is in Utah ....He then goes on to catalog the reasons he thinks the "political system in Utah" is "badly broken." It's a very interesting list.
One note: when Mr. Gale mentions "the dominant political party" in his list of particulars... and he uses that phrase a lot... he means Utah Republicans. Just in case you were wondering.
Chewy article. Worth a look.
