A riveting local story reported in the Spectrum. Rep. Dave Clark is named majority leader in the Utah House, thereby surpassing his mentor, Rep. Steve Urquhart. Rep. Urquhart then loses his leadership job as a result of Clark's victory. The unselfish Urquhart was instrumental in getting Rep. Clark appointed to a leadership job in the Legislature in the first place. However, the only thing that Dean Cox, chairman of the Washington County Republican Party, can think of to describe the accomplishments of these two legislative stalwarts is that during the floods they "both were the go- to guys that helped to arrange the $25 million emergency loan package from the state to the county." Amazing, they helped to get us a loan.
Never mind that the state is benefiting greatly from the taxes from the booming economy here, but neglecting educational opportunities here. Dixie State College operates on a state allocation that is one-third below other similar colleges in Utah and the bachelor degree attainment rate in Washington County is only 16 percent -- 75 percent below the national average.
