Would someone please help me understand who John Pingree is?
Did he gain office in a landslide election that gave him a mandate from the people? Has he discovered a lifesaving vaccine or become a Nobel laureate? Did he lead us to victory in a great war? Has he made great and lasting social change through the use of nonviolent means? If it is not one of these, then will someone please tell me how this person has gained such great importance?Before the recent storm of thinly veiled but fully orchestrated protest, I thought he was an employee of the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). Its general manager, in fact. As general manager he must surely be aware that Utah is an "at will" state. That means that an employee may be terminated at the will of an employer. The only "just cause" needed is just because the company wants to.
Perhaps we should let the UTA board of directors do its job and run the bus company.
