Worth Reading

By John Valentine
President of the Utah Senate

Public servants catch a lot of arrows. Some of them are well-deserved. Some aren't.

Much of the criticism stems from a distrust of government (which, unfortunately, has been thoroughly earned over the last several centuries). But once in a while a little insight shines through the constant hum of negative feedback. We think this is worth reading.

I haven't met Rob. Apparently he is running for City Council in West Jordan. If that doesn't work out for him, maybe we could use him as a referee in some of our political disputes.

Distrust of our government? I can't imagine it.

I have met Rob, and been the subject of his well-known attacks.

A prime example of why not to trust government.

Referee? Read www.notrob.info before decide anything about this person.

"You are a wart on the face of this community. I hope at some point it will be removed."

"You are a pitiful example of a citizen of these great United States."

Negative about elected officials? And you wonder why?

Any insight is a technical issue. Not something that 'shines thru'. Unless some bull shines brighter than other.
