Unofficial Voice of the Utah Senate Majority
Welcome to The Senate Site
Tuesday, May 29, 2007Rumor Patrol
By John Valentine, President of the Utah Senate,
and Curt Bramble, Utah Senate Majority Leader According to Paul Rolly, the GOP is "brimming with rumors" about Curt Bramble gearing up for a run against John Valentine for president of the Utah Senate. To our discriminating readers, we offer the following: It's not true. What is true: President Valentine and Senator Bramble work well together. So does the rest of the Senate Leadership Team. Also true: President Valentine and Senator Bramble are totally committed to Stan Lockhart as the next Utah Republican Party Chairman. No questions, no reservations. Another nugget: The Valentines, Brambles and Lockharts are long-time friends and do a lot of things together off of the Hill. In fact, the annual fishing & backpack trips with the three families and their boys are now almost legendary. (And yes, the fish stories are all true!) And finally: Senator Bramble is not running against President Valentine in 2008. John Valentine intends to run for Senate President again, and Senator Bramble for Majority Leader.

Paul Rolly writes for the Tribune. Therefore, I am going to believe what he has to say.
The rumor about Bramble challenging Valentine for Senate Pres. are completely unture... Bramble will be running for President of the United States in '08 and thus won't have time for a silly state senate race.
Did anybody catch this at the bottom of Utah Policy Daily this morning? How fitting.
“If by the liberty of the press were understood merely the liberty of discussing the propriety of public measures and political opinions, let us have as much of it as you please: But if it means the liberty of affronting, calumniating and defaming one another, I, for my part, own myself willing to part with my share of it, whenever our legislators shall please so to alter the law and shall chearfully consent to exchange my liberty of abusing others for the privilege of not being abused myself.”
-- Benjamin Franklin
I'd be interested in comments on Rolly's main claim: that fingers are being pointed at Gov. Huntsman. True? False? Senate Site?
Good question. That's more a Party HQ issue than it is a Senate issue. You should probably ask them. Governor Huntsman has certainly done a good job working with us (and we're not always easy to work with).
All we need now is a governor from Utah County and we can have all of the money - not just the disproportionate amount we get now. A handful of state party money carefully directed will certainly help in that effort.
We want to clarify something here, just to be fair. Paul Rolly may be correct in saying rumors were starting to percolate. We were saying those rumors are not true.
