Three Utah Republican Senators vote "Nay" on Resolution against Divine Strake












I was blown away when I read that Senators Mark B. Madsen (R-13), Scott K. Jenkins (R-20), and Howard Stephenson (R-11), actually had the audacity to vote "NAY" on Senator Gene Davis's Resolution against Divine Strake (click here !).


Let me quote lines 42 to 44 from S.C.R. 5:
"Since suspended natural radionuclides and resuspended fallout radionuclides from the detonation have potential to be transported off of the NTS by wind, they may contribute a radiological dose to the public"
And lines 55 to 57:
"WHEREAS, much more needs to be done to assure that there is never a repeat of the immense suffering endured by citizens of Utah and nearby states due to the nuclear fallout from past tests at the Nevada Test Site"

It has been very difficult to not post the 101 wrathy thoughts that have come to mind, but after allowing myself a day to cool down all I can really say is gentlemen, shame on you!

Reminds me of Orrin Hatch being one of two U.S. Senators to vote nay on ethics reform.

I hope they send these guys home, no matter what bull!#@* reason they gave for doing so.
