Utah's autobahn

With any luck, we'll be subjected to the most boring stretch of highway outside of Nebraska for a shorter period of time.
A proposal in the Senate would allow UDOT to increase the speed limit on I-15 between Nephi and Cedar City from 75 mph to 80 mph... and beyond. (Why dawdle? If it weren't for that three-legged cow near Scipio, there'd be nothing to see.)
The proposal, which would require UDOT study some minutiae like fatalities, environmental impact and "roadway geometry," would give Utah one of the highest speed limits in the country.
I say, let's go for the highest speed limit. How about
"SPEED LIMIT: Same as Bonneville Salt Flats"? Or visualize a sign that says, "MACH 1, Daddy-O."
Utah is in last place for teacher pay, student spending and nightlife — hell, let's be in first place for something.

May I respectfully suggest to Glen that he knows where he can put his witless sarcasm. And that he think about the fact that Utah seems to do extremely well educating its children without wildly overpaying teachers. If he wants to carry teachers on his back for the 30+ years they'll be in retirement at taxpayer expense, he should move to New Jersey or New York. They're expert at paying billions for nothing.
Right on anonymous!!! Those teachers have been living like fat cats for way too long. If you want to teach and contribute practically nothing to society, you can sleep on the streets!!!
