I'm annoyed and appalled at recent negative statements in the direction of Lt. Gov. Greg Bell. I suspect that Bell and myself are for the most part on opposite sides of the political fence, and yet I consider him to be one of the most honest and dedicated persons I've ever observed. He's exactly the kind of public official we hope to find in those we elect.
Those who are loading their water cannons with mud need to clean them out and come up with actual ammunition to fire in the direction of the other state official who is really under suspicion from all quarters. I believe Bell is as honest as the year is long.

So the FBI investigating doesn't even warrant a news story? We see the smoke only time will tell if there was fire.
These are issues that need to be investigated. I am not willing to "clear" or "convict" until the FACTS are in. I urge others, who are proponents of both sides of the issue, to do the same.
I hope Mr. Bell is honest.
But, the issue needs to be carefully and thoroughly investigated without partisan meddling.
Then we will know -- one way or the other.
