The Beehive State offers the best laboratory for an experiment of Leavitt's principles. Intermountain Healthcare is recognized nationally for developing quality values that can be utilize statewide. Our business community is hungry for action and will support commonsense directives from the state Capitol.

Political insiders are predicting well-respected lawmaker Dave Clark is crafting a revolutionary, but market-based, legislative solution (aided by Sen. Sheldon Killpack). In less than 90 days, we'll know who shares their courage and vision.


Republican LaVarr Webb was policy deputy to Gov. Mike Leavitt and Deseret News managing editor. He now is a political consultant and lobbyist. E-mail: lwebb@exoro.com. Democrat Frank Pignanelli is Salt Lake attorney, lobbyist and political adviser. A former candidate for Salt Lake mayor, he served 10 years in the Utah House of Representatives, six years as House minority leader. Pignanelli's spouse, D'Arcy Dixon Pignanelli, is a Utah state tax commissioner. E-mail: frankp@xmission.com.
