Senate chief deputy feels at home in government and wild country

Isn't the legislature the same thing as wild country?

"For now, he's finding satisfaction helping Utahns realize that government can offer them the same solace as the wilderness, "the self-reliant, sweet feeling of freedom."

Maybe I am missing something in the article but I didn't get the impression that he is accomplishing what is quoted above.

I don't know the man & I have no problems with someone that likes both wilderness and good government, but in reading the article, it doesn't impress me. Perhaps if I knew him I might have a different impression.

Rick is a innovative professional and a a great person with whom to work. The Utah Senate is fortunate to have him as a part of their staff.

Hey L: If you knew me personally your impression would probably be about the same. Must have been a slow news day :-) Call me, though, if you want to talk about the nexus of wild country and political freedom - there's some landscape there we could explore.
