Statement of Condolence

Condolences from the Governor's Office today:
Mary Kaye and I are saddened by the terrible loss of Corrections Officer Stephen Anderson and offer our most sincere condolences to his family and the Department of Corrections. We are grateful for the lifelong dedication of a true public servant who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

This tragic incident engaged many of Utah's finest and I commend all of the agencies involved for their swift actions to end what could have affected so many more Utahns. I also want to thank those citizens in Arby's who were willing to take heroic actions to disarm the suspect, thereby saving lives.

Today we are all members of the Corrections family.

Can't the Governor's office issue their own statements? I come here to find out what the Senate majority thinks... not the Guv. I do hope the Senate addresses the larger issue of protecting the public/correction officers by ensuring that better procedures are in place for inmate transfers.
