This Morning's Emerald City News Delivered Promptly This Very Afternoon!

Energy Solutions, Inc. - a bad corporate neighbor and an assault upon our healthy recreational state culture... This isn't the only toxicity problem, however

There are numerous interesting items from this morning's Standard-Examiner. We barely know where to start.

How's this?

There are three pieces in today's edition dealing with the Energy Solutions, Inc., the radioactive toxic waste dumping -- poison-mongering -- corporate monkey on our Utah back.

For starters, here's a great and savvy letter to the editor from today's Std-Ex edition, which very nicely frames our local issues regarding the storing of radioactive waste in Utah, we think:

• Energy Solutions can buy our legislators

And here's another Big-time Classic Editorial on the subject too, from the highly-skilled Std-Ex wordsmith (Doug Gibson) who now posits opinions on the radically improving Std-Ex editorial pages every single day, mostly to our great delight, as he today refers to lemebrain Davis County Republican House Majority Leader Representative Garn's Faustian Solution:

• Say no to waste profit sharing

As an added bonus, we gleefully link this news blurb from one of the Std-Ex's well hidden sidebars, wherein Governor Huntsman courageously states that he'll veto any bill designed to bring foreign (designer Italian) nuclear waste to Utah:

• Huntsman vows to veto nuclear waste

Not a bad day's work for our home town newspaper, from the news and opinion gathering perspective, we'll say.

And we'll hope in the future The Standard-Examiner will display the same degree of due diligence very soon with regard to our local city government.

There's a 135 pound specimen of steaming and reeking toxic waste sitting in a leather chair on the ninth floor of city hall most days of the week. It needs to be removed, and planted in a toxic waste dump site far away from our lovely city, we think. We do hope that our home town newspaper, the venerable Standard-Examiner, will embark upon touting this worthy project very soon.

And what say out gentle readers about all this?
