Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney has been in office for about a week and is still waiting for his phones to work and for his staff emails to be set up.
Utahns trying to contact their new Republican senator have faced numbers that don’t connect or allow messages to be left — but it’s not something Romney’s office can control.
“We would love more than anything to get this fixed,” Romney spokeswoman Liz Johnson said Thursday. “We're doing everything we can.”
Romney’s office inherited former Sen. Orrin Hatch’s main office numbers — for those wondering, 202-224-5251 is Romney’s Washington office and 801-524-4380 is his Salt Lake City office number — but are at the mercy of Senate technicians and contractors to get the lines working.
