The revolving door
The way Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. is going, the entire Legislature may soon end up working in his administration.
The latest?
Watch for an announcement soon that Rep. Greg Buxton, R-Roy, will be Huntsman's new director of the Division of Facilities, Construction and Management.
Funny. Buxton carried legislation this session that makes it easier for the administration to demolish or make changes in state properties without legislative approval.
Buxton has only been in the Legislature since 2005. He ran for the seat to replace former House Speaker Marty Stephens, who didn't run for re-election in 2004 because he was a candidate for governor facing Huntsman and other Republicans.
Since Huntsman has been governor, he has appointed former Rep. Mike Styler to head the Department of Natural Resources, former Sen. Leonard Blackman as agriculture commissioner, former Rep. Bev Evans to run rural development, and former Rep. Jeff Alexander to an unpaid position in the economic development office.
Buxton will have to resign from the Legislature to take the position, meaning that Republicans will have to rehuddle to pick a replacement.

Rep. Buxton has served since 2003. Rep. Gibson filled Marty's seat in 2005.
Buxton replaced Gerry Adair.
Also, it's Gregg Buxton.
Further, HB 216 doesn't do anything except amend existing law to account for inflation, so the Legislature doesn't need to weigh in every time an agency wants to move some sheetrock.
Buxton has long experience in construction and has been an active participant in state facility planning.
It's baffling that you want to snipe on this too....
I'm amazed at how little research one does in the pursuit of embarrassing people.
Paul, you must be the biggest DOUCHEBAG that investigative reporting has ever seen.
The fact that you actually draw a pay-check astounds me. Have you got a life? Have you EVER gotten anything right in your "gossip column" or your "BLOG??"
Being a receptacle of nonsense should not make one an "authority" on anything other than JACK-CRAP!
You, Paul Rolly, should stay off the JIMBEAM or whatever intoxicant lends you to post such nonsense - forever.
Do your liver a service and stay off the alcohol.
