Shuffles and Flows
Robin Riggs, the former legal counsel to Gov. Mike Leavitt who later became a lobbyist and then a governmental affairs officer with the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, has dropped out of the race for House District 48, just a few days before the Republican County Convention Saturday.
That leaves Sylvia Anderson as the lone Republican in the race to replace Rep. LaVar Christensen, R-Draper, who is running against Democrat Jim Matheson in Utah's 2nd Congressional District.
Riggs has been a longtime close political ally to former Senate President Al Mansell, who chose not to run for re-election this year.
After Riggs dropped out of the race, Anderson reportedly was approached by supporters of Wayne Niederhauser and asked to support him in his race against four other Republicans to replace Mansell in Senate District 9. Niederhauser reportedly is Mansell's choice. Anderson reportedly declined to make an endorsement in the
Senate race.
Meanwhile, former Salt Lake County Mayor Nancy Workman, who recently was named the new director of the Sandy Chamber of Commerce, has rented a booth at the Salt Lake County Republican Convention. She plans to use the venue to thank delegates for their support when she was fighting felony charges of misue of public funds, for which she eventually was acquitted by a jury.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly

Its a nice gesture for Nancy to say "thank you" to the County GOP. The only problem with this is that the party did not stand by her. They gladly kicked her to the curb in favor of Ellis Ivory.
Don't you remember the late September 2004 central committee meeting at the Larry H. Miller campus, where not one single person voted to keep her?
What Nancy ought to say in her convention booth (which undoubtedly will have her picture plasted all over it and her $100k hairdresser nearby), is that she is "sorry" for being so stupid.
Sorry for screwing it up. Sorry for turning the county upside down so she could help her daughter. Sorry for driving around a luxry suv with lights and sirens.
And most of all sorry for giving the keys to the county over to Democrats for the next decade or more.
