Utahns are very pleased with their governor and legislators, who softened the impact of budget shortfalls and liberalized liquor laws.
A Deseret News/KSL News poll gives Huntsman an 84 percent job approval rating. And the Legislature pulled a 64 percent approval rating.
Huntsman, who even saw his popularity withstand his support of civil unions in the midst of an unsuccessful gay rights drive, says:If you do what you think is right, even if some people disagree with you, they will give you credit.
A less useful DNews numbers analysis found that the Republicans out performed Democrats 10 to one in getting bills passed. The Legislature, of course, is overwhelmingly Republican. The Democrat with the worst "batting average," Rep. Neil Hansen, says:
This was the most oppressive session I've seen as far as Republicans killing Democrats' bills.Hansen was one of a handful of Democrats who made a strategic error last summer by signing on to ethics complaints against Republican colleagues.
It comes as no surprise that the GOP-controlled Lege passed very little in the way of ethics reform, despite the issue being important to voters in the last election. The Ogden Standard-Examiner did it's own report card on the Legislature and awarded it an D in ethics reform.

Neil Hansen is an idiot. He's been sitting on the back row for years contributing nothing. He votes no on most bills (including most of the the ethics bills this year) and wonders why people don't respect him.
He is totally clueless.
