So the State of Utah has this massive road reconstruction project going on to widen a major portion of the I-15 corridor project. Well some contractor whined about the bid process and the State gives him $13 Million Dollars! I'm sorry I thought the state was strapped for monies. Aren't we having to cut jobs, reduce spending on Education, etc? Why do we have to cater to whiner's like this?
Here's some food for thought on this. The average teacher salary in Utah is around $40,000 / year. That's not very much, but $13M would pay for over 300 teachers for one year! That would make a serious dent in classroom sizes.
I'm not voting for Herbert.

I'm listed as unaffiliated because I believe that there is good and bad in all political parties and I vote for the people not the party. I didn't like either of the major candidates for President in 2008 and I think that unaffiliated voters that aren't at the mercy of any one political party need to step up to get better ideas of how to "Change" the USA! I'll start with my ideas and I welcome arguments on both sides. Who knows, maybe someday someone unaffiliated could be in the White House.

This is the main reason I was disappointed with Utah this year. Not just giving away $13 Million, but the fact that Herbert still won by a landslide despite of it.
