In the 2012 gubernatorial election Gov. Herbert beat democratic contender Peter S. Cooke 68% to 28%. Unlike states run by democrats Utah isn’t up to our eyeballs in red ink.

No state would be if they confiscated enough money.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It’s hard to find a State government that is more corrupt than ours. It’s REALLY hard to find one that micromanages the lives of its citizens more than ours.

According to a January 2014 report by the nonprofit organization State Budget Solutions, Utah had a state debt of over $35 billion. Its state debt per capita was $12,513.
Your eyeballs must be higher up than mine.

The GOP had had the Governorship and a veto-proof majority in both legislative houses since 1985. Why don’t you compare the growth of State spending to the growth of State population over that time period. Then tell me how fiscally responsible Republicans are when they have absolute power.
