Utah = Functional

"The Six Most Dysfunctional State Governments"

Don't worry. The State of Utah is NOT on that list. NationalJournal.com rated the six most ineffective state governments in the country. Criteria used (according to njonline):

• The quality of leadership -- by the state's legislature, its current governor and, where applicable, its ousted governor.
• The whiff of criminality in the state's top political leadership.
• The severity of the state's policy challenges.
• The intensity of the media circus surrounding state government.
