Utah County mob
In a curious house editorial, the Provo Daily Herald wags its inky finger at BYU academic Ned Hill, for backing out of consideration as president of Utah Valley University. Hill dropped out when he learned he needed to apologize to the Republican syndicate that controls Utah County for his uppity wife, Claralyn, who had the audacity to run as a Democrat.The Daily Herald probably also endorses paying protection money to the mob and bribes to corrupt government officials because—hey, that's the way business is done. At least that's how it's done in Utah County.Hill should have expected to encounter some political intrigue. It comes with the territory. While the job of UVU president is officially nonpartisan, there's no way to avoid interacting with members of the political establishment or responding to attempted manipulation, even by a member of the board of regents. After all, the state pays the bills and UVU is the new kid on the block.
Making nice may not be glamorous, but UVU's next president will have to devote much attention to the care and feeding of legislators and others with a political agenda.

Utah Valley is the "disputed border region" of this state. The mob down there is nothing but Utah's own Taliban, or more correctly, Hezboallah, which means, after all, "Party of God." If UDOT gets a lot of stimulus money they should build a big causeway over the whole county so none of the rest of us pollute their perfect CHRIST-ian paradise. Then they can take that fence the brown-people-haters are building down in Texas and put it around Utah Valley. Problems solved!
Ned wasn't going to get the UVU presidency so this appears to be his way to save face while spreading mud. Very disappointing.
