Son of a voinovich!!! More RINOtastic crap from a Governor of UTAH. And he’s just been reelected!
Constitutional carry is good enough for Vermont but not for the Republican Governor of the most conservative and Republican state? FAIL!
If it passed by more than 2to1 I assume override is likely.
Yikes. I'm glad the legislature appears to have the votes to override him.
I can't figure out what the heck is going on with Utah. Orrin Hatch is a squish, but who GOP voters put in the Governor's office goes beyond that problem. They don't even RUN candidates for Governor who SOUND "conservative" on paper. They nominate New England style "moderate" RINOs in one of the MOST conservative states in the union (Alaska has the same problem with their federal delegation, but a lot of that has to do with behind-the-scenes election shenanigans)
As I recall, Leavitt, Walker, Huntsman, AND now Herbert deviated from the GOP platform on some MAJOR issues and were pretty pathetic as far as mainstream Republicans go. Walker inherited the office when Leavitt resigned, I don't know how we ended up with the other three.
How about Governor Norman H. Bangerter (served 1985-1993)? Was he was a decent reliable conservative? I know virtually nothing about the guy. Maybe Fieldmarshaldj could give us some insight.
