Who Said We Don't Have a Stinking Ethics Problem in Utah Government?

Hint: Not us

By Lionel

I couldn't help being amazed with the news today that Utah State Attorney General Shurtleff had been completely cleared, by his buddy the Lt. Governor, of any wrong-doing over his "selling" the great seal of the State of Utah to the highest bidder.

My comments on this outrage from the KSL web site:
HUBRIS ALIVE AND WELL IN UTAH GOVERNMENT
Let's see now - Company gives Shurtleff $10,000.00, A few days later Shurtleff gives company an endorsement letter on state letterhead in direct violation of plainly written state law, company promptly uses said letter to advertise their service nationally, citizens cry foul, Shurtleff has his political insider pal - the Lt. Governor - give reading on legality, political pal says "hey, no problem no violation."
Who said we don't have a stinking ethics problem in Utah government?
