All Utahns acknowledge and are aware of the charitable giving of Jon Huntsman Sr. Yes, he has done much for this community. But beyond the donations and charity, he is still big business and big bucks. His money gives him power and an audience in this state, and makes him one of the significant influences in business, politics, recreation and environmental issues in this state.
Now enter the possibility of Jon Huntsman Jr. as governor of the state of Utah. This is an unacceptable prospect. The biggest money in the state, in the biggest political office in the state, with a Huntsman family view of the way things should be, does not seem like a good thing for Utah. There is more to this state than the Huntsman view and vision.
I am a registered Republican and member of the LDS Church, but I will be voting for Scott Matheson Jr. I hope other Republicans will do likewise.
