I’ve been VERY disappointed in our government since I started to really pay attention to what they are doing.
The best and brightest? Hardly. They may have Harvard phd’s but they are the dumbest people I’ve had the chance to talk with.
I may not have the experience these people do with government however even I can see we’re going the wrong way.
I wonder if they are doing this on purpose.

The good news on Wayne is that he’s my state senator and is willing to hear me out. There may be some hope there yet.

I know people want alternatives to what’s currently offered. Qwest and Concast being the ONLY two solutions isn’t all that great. Most other states and countries have multiple options available.
People have been writing to the West Jordan City Council asking about Utopia or for alternatives to the incumbents.
