Nightmare file: Gov. Bramble?
After the taping of KUED's monthly news conference with Gov. Huntsman, the governor was asked about feedback on his shift of state employees to a 10-hour, four-day workweek.

The governor says about 80 percent of state workers are happy with the change, the rest have "challenges" to work out, including child care and continuing education. Huntsman ordered supervisors to be flexible in helping them out.

As for carping from lawmakers — led by Sen. Howie Stephenson and Majority Leader Curt Bramble — that the governor sprung the 4/10 schedule on them without notice, Huntsman says they got at least a month-and-half warning.

And to their complaint that the schedule could have been staggered to avoid service disruptions, Huntsman said:
Tell Sen. Bramble that if he wants to do that, he can run for governor.
Obviously, Huntsman's vast reservoir of diplomacy has been drained.

Best part would be the incredible resulting cat fight over who would be first lady.

Stephenson's first name is Howard, not Howie.

I don't see you talking about Petey Corroon, Joey Hatch, Jimmy Bradley, Ralphie Becker,...

You guys need to try harder at hiding your biases.

Either way his middle name is "Major Conflict of Interest and Ethically Impaired Shill for Big Business Masquerading as a Taxpayer Advocate".
