Not long ago, legislators Sheldon Killpack and Mark Walker were the very image of the future for Utah's uber-dominant "family values" party. Now we can see the real image: a drunken state senator and a lobbyist who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor election-law violation, careening around Salt Lake streets at midnight after a big Republican fundraising bash. And these are the people who say we don't need legislative ethics reform. Everybody, run to the nearest petition and sign!
