So, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert last week received a lifetime achievement award from Governor’s Refugee Services Advisory Board. A board he created and whose members he appointed.
That does not diminish the good news that Herbert would even want public recognition of his genuine efforts to welcome, assimilate and boost the hopes and prospects of refugees who are seeking a new life in this land of refugees. Too many members of his Republican Party these days would run and hide from any suggestion that they have not fully capitulated to the practicing xenophobia of their Dear Leader.
