What's 50 grand between friends?
Eric Peterson at Salt Lake City Weekly has turned up some more friends-in-low-places of Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.Jeremy Johnson, president IWorks won the AG's heart by donating a home in St. George to the "Lost Boys" cause. This spring Johnson also wrote out two $25,000 checks to Shurtleff's re-election campaign—providing nearly a third of Shurtleff’s $161,625 fund.
Shurtleff says he was unaware that the Utah Division of Consumer Protection has slapped Johnson with 49 citations related to fraud following a probe by Shurtleff's own attorneys.
Says Democratic opponent Jean Welch Hill:
If you’ve been involved in litigation with some company, then you ought to have the discipline to say this isn’t the best donation for me to accept.

Shurtleff doesn't lie very well. If our lovely attorney general doesn't know, isn't aware of, what his underlings are doing, he should be sent walking.
In my mind, any attorney general should have a weekly meeting of all his department heads with a tally of what their lawyers are doing, in terms of investigations, filing of criminal charges, etc. Something about "the buck stops here."
Reading the SLW story, I tried very hard not to laugh at Shurtleff's denial. His hands, face, feet, legs and behind are dirty.
It's quid pro quo, and someone needs to investigate Shurtleff. A job for an out-of-state U.S. attorney. Out of state because inside Utah they're all related, mostly by religion.
Pure and simple.
he'll have lorha miller investigate him and he'll get a clean bill.
he isn't smart enough to see the conflict.
