Although Weber County political red-meat news is more than a mite slow this autumnal Wednesday in all of the northern Utah print media, (believe us, we spent hours googling this morning), one of our gentle readers sent us a heads-up on a wonderfully "meaty" blog article on a topic that's near and dear to our hearts... the pending citizens' UEG Legislative Ethics initiative.
Check out Doug Gibson's new Political Surf Blog post below. It seems that last week's blistering Standard-Examiner editorial struck a nerve with some of the "leaders" of GOP legislative "leadership" faction (read neoCon faction):
• Dee: Utah GOP will buck Standard, defend the Constitution by opposing ethics reform initiativeLast week, the gaggle of power hungry GOP legislative leaders tried to "Republicanize" the issue; and the Utah GOP Central Committee bowed down like the gutless sheep they are.
As everyone knows, this is NOT a party-partisan issue. There are MANY Warhorse Republicans like me, who are appalled at the anti-democratic conduct of people like Brad Dee.
Remember, people, you can arrange to sign the petition here.
And please be sure to send an email to House Rep. Brad Dee, who now seems to be just another neoCon legislative "tool;" and let him know what you think about his scurvy attempt to influence Standard-Examiner editorial policy.
