Comments about ‘Herbert appoints Envision Utah head as his senior environmental adviser’

This is a great pick. Alan Matheson is one of the finest public policy thinkers in town. Herbert wins big with this one and the state of Utah even bigger.

Wow, he fires the archeologists for trying to stop development on sensitive lands, and now he gives environmental policy to Envision Utah. Just unbelievable.

And I quote: "In a dramatic reversal, President Barack Obama scrubbed a clean-air regulation that aimed to reduce health-threatening smog, yielding to bitterly protesting businesses and congressional Republicans who complained the rule would kill jobs in America's ailing economy."

You had your chance to replace Herbert with a Democrat. Peter Corroon lost the election by a ratio of 2 to 1.
