The states, including Utah, have just prostituted themselves for a buck. Never mind that gross criminal activity was discovered and now hard core criminals will be able to buy their way out of prison. Never mind that the bankster's "stay out of jail" card only cost them a few pennies. Never mind that victims remain victims and receive an additional slap on the face to boot for this deplorable "compensation" package crammed down their throats.

It appears as though our governor smelled money, and despite his fiduciary responsibility to his constituency and his pledge to uphold the law he raised his hand to the square to keep, he couldn't resist the temptation for a quick payoff and grabbed the dough as fast as a Wall Street con artist.

I have completely lost faith and trust in my governor and attorney general for accepting filthy lucre over justice. Shame on both of you. You will NEVER ever get my vote or my endorsement! You are just like the 99.99% of the politicians in this country that we have come to despise. But it's no surprise, is it folks?

Maybe we can get a settlement from car dealers for pressuring us into buying their cars. How about furniture stores?

Thank you BO for taking care of us.

Obama is just trying to buy an election, with our money.
