Wife runs amok in Utah County
Ned Hill, a former dean of BYU's Marriott School of Business, says he dropped out of consideration for president of Utah Valley University because a member of the state board of Regents asked him to apologize to Utah County Republican king pins for his wife's infidelity.Before you hyperventilate — it wasn't Ned that Claralyn Hill cheated on, it was the GOP. Claralyn, who had been a life-long Republican, ran as a Democratic candidate for the state House in the last election.
Ned Hill says the board member asked him to apologize to local Republican lawmakers who were offended by Claralyn's statements that the Legislature needs ethical reform.
I am a Republican, but because my wife ran against them, I had to apologize for my wife running for office.Tribune columnist Paul Rolly already reported the incident, but now that it's in the Provo Daily Herald maybe some voters in Utah County will hear about it.

I had the great pleasure of serving on an estate planning council board with Claralyn for a few years. She is truly a remarkable woman, with incredible intellect, integrity, and true desire to serve and help others (especially those who can't help themselves). She's donated countless hours and resources to many charitable causes - including one of mine, children with disabilities. I also met with Ned a few times during my days in the business school at BYU. He is a very good man who makes decisions wisely, like Solomon.
How very, very sad that they have been looked down upon or otherwise treated poorly because of Claralyn's true desire to serve and make things better. Shame on the GOP members for not standing up, in public, to denounce this type of "retribution" for personal, political gain. These modern-day Gadiantons (masked as GOP or Democrat) are ruining our great country with their backroom bullying and under-the-table deals that benefit themselves at the expense of our liberties, and public characters.
Perhaps nothing will change until we make "straight party votes" illegal, and vote out every single person currently in office in favor of those who have 0% experience and 100% integrity.
Thank you to the Hills for standing up by not apologizing or rolling over to the whims of bullies.
If he were a Democrat and his wife ran as a republican, you can bet the Demo's would be just as bone-headed!
