I know many Mormons and they are friendly,law abiding, good business people and not on welfare.

Ditto that! Couldn’t agree more!
The almost 100% Mormon towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, AZ, are indeed welfare-laden.
Mormon fraud among Lds over the last several years is now in the $billions (usually one Mormon defrauding another). White collar crime has been high in Salt Lake City area going back to the 1980s.
As for the other "nice" traits, hey, if you're auditioning for godhood, you better be on your best behavior!
(Oh, and you don't go around with any other group that has a "I'm-divine-complex" and tout that inward prideful arrogance as a trait we all need to embrace, do you?)

The Sidon Canal project in Big Horn County was built by Mormons who came to Wyoming mostly from Southern Utah in 1900.
Some kind of a deal with the Governor of Wyoming and the colony of Mormons, who got land for their labor.
The ones up there now are in part from those ancestors. Powell, Lovell, Cowley, Byron, Frannie, Deaver, etc. Some in Cody. Maybe some places you know, better than me.
I have several generations buried at the cemetery in Cowley; Aunt, Uncle, grandparents, great grandparents, great-great grandparents (who crossed the plains). Cousins throughout the area.
Those Mormons in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho vote conservative in very high proportion, so making them out as enemies is not logical.
