From Deseret News archives:
Ethnic affairs office a total tax waste
Such is the case with the Utah Office of Ethnic Affairs' Strategic Plan released after 10 months in the making. It reveals how out of touch that million-dollar office has become with the plight of minorities.
The plan shows a discomforting disconnect between what the ethnic office proposes to do as opposed to the problems minorities face today, including: a high morbidity and mortality rate i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, lack of prenatal care and lack of health insurance; poverty; high unemployment, underemployment; discrimination in employment, workers compensation; being victimized by dishonest employers, loan sharks and slumlords; student dropout and underachievement; and a higher rate of incarceration to name a few.
Most disturbing is that the plan makes no mention of the most critical and divisive issue the effect of illegal immigration.
The "deliverables" appear to be nothing more than a litany of unrelated busy work the Ethnic Office proposes to take with no result, but that it created to justify its existence. It's as though it has now been consumed by the bureaucracies it was charged to change.
