Governor Herbert Signs HB477

Herbert Quote of the Year: “Our goal (in 'gutting' GRAMA) is open and transparent government"

By: The Lovely Jennifer

He signed it!

• Governor Herbert signs HB 477
• Despite rally, guv signs law shielding records
• Herbert signs GRAMA bill over protesters' call for veto
  

After trying to placate those who expressed concern against this atrocity with false empathy and hope, saying out of interest for the many voters who didn't like it that it needs to wait and bear more scrutiny... he signed it anyway.

Jerk!

Update 5/9/11 7:30 a.m.: Amazingly, and despite the fact that the Governor rolled over and went along with the legislative majority, some pathologically paranoid legislative legislative Republicans still feel like Herbert "threw them under the bus" amid the controversy surrounding the bill:

• Rolly: Signature aside, Republicans say Herbert threw them under bus

As one clever reader quips in the SLTrib article comment section, "What better use for a bus?"
