Sandy's bandits
When the Tribune tried to get information on bonuses Sandy paid to public servants in 2004, the city administrator refused, saying it would just cause bad feelings between those who got and those who didn't.Now that the information finally is out, we see he is right. But the bad blood should be between Byron Jorgenson and Sandy taxpayers.
Yowl! Byron has raked in more than $50K in bonuses in the last five years. He's up for another $12,500 this year and THAT'S ON TOP OF his $151,000 salary! And you thought all the pirates were in the Caribbean.
The Trib's Matt Canham, Matt LaPlante and Rosemary Winters lay out the gory details. Important note: Before you go out and slug your garbage man — the schmoes at the bottom food chain don't see these kinds of bonuses.
In comparison, the governor gets $106,079. If you want to check on other public employee salaries, go UtahsRight.com.

Sandy's bandits is right.
There should be a federal investigation. But, then, Bush's Justice Department, from top to bottom, is more corrupt than the thieves in Sandy. I know, bring in the Texas Rangers. Make sure they have plenty of First Baptist buses and lots of rope.
Maybe, just maybe, Utah's attorney general can shelve his fear of polygamists praying for his death and do his job.
The Deseret Morning News didn't have this story. The Sandy looters must be in Joe Cannon's ward.
On second thought, the Utah attorney general probably won't bother. Something about the secret handshake.
The public could write their congressional delegation, but then Hatch, the Bob Dylan pretender, do-nothing Bennett, lobbiest Bishop, loose Cannon and "I'm a Democrat" Matheson, are equally familiar with the handshake.
Oh, well, dear Sandy residents, you'll just have to sit back and watch the pigs at the trough.
