Steve Thompson answers Deseret Morning News questionnaire

I have demonstrated through my service on the Logan City Council that I am accessible and responsive, that I always represent the constituent and never hide behind a desk.

20. The above questions are to find out why voters should elect you. Can you give us one or more reasons why voters should not vote for your opponent? For example, does he lack experience, education, vision, have conflicts of interest, not represent the views of the district, does not have the best interests of the district in mind, etc.?

One of the very first things that Rob Bishop did to us here in Utah was behind closed doors. He attempted to slip "hotter" radioactive waste into our state. Bishop, a former lobbyist for Envirocare, sent a letter to our congressional delegation, encouraging them to join him in this act. For this reason alone, Rob Bishop should be sent home to Brigham City. I, on the other hand, will stand up for the health and safety of the citizens of Utah. I will oppose nuclear testing in Nevada and fight to keep "hotter" radioactive waste out of our state. When elected, I will also force a national discussion on radioactive waste storage issues. My record in public service proves that I will stand up for the rights of the citizens in Utah.
