Hypocrite Shurtleff

 Print This Article

So Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff is against back-room deals to get laws passed (”Shurtleff may sue to stop health reform,” Tribune , Dec. 29). When is he going to sue the Utah Legislature to open all its meetings? The Republicans annually hold closed-door meetings to pressure, cajole and bribe all Republican legislators who do not go along with the basic plan.

If it is wrong on the federal level, then it is just as wrong on the state or local level.
