I had to laugh at Gov. Gary Herbert's inaugural address about taking on tough challenges and not postponing difficult decisions. Here are a few of the tough challenges this governor has not taken on:
Asking Utah parents to step up and pay the price for their children's education.
Improving the solidly mediocre performance of Utah schools.
Cleaning up the worst air in the nation.
Bucking his big oil-and-gas donors in order to support renewable energy.
In fact, I can't think of a single tough job this governor has done or ever will do.

Great letter!
It's amazing what a few facts can do to dispel the rhetoric.
Joe, it's called Google. You may want to come out of your cave and turn off your AM radio and use Google sometime. It's a brilliant tool which can help you find facts and not just rhetoric which is the #1 thing spewed from AM radio pundits.
Joe, there are plenty of previous news articles and other sources easily available with the click of a mouse that can help you out.
