I found The Tribune Editorial Board’s decision to endorse outsider Mitt Romney for the U.S. Senate rather than native daughter Jenny Wilson deeply disappointing. As the editorial notes, “he will have to stand up to a rogue president and his xenophobic agenda, and Romney’s history with that has been, well, waffly.”
Recall Mitt’s earlier commentary, “Where I stand on the Trump agenda,” in which he praised Trump’s “restoration of multiple use on Utah public land.” In fact, the only reasonable interpretation of “multiple use,” especially in view of the administration’s having put lands formerly protected as national parks up for sale to extractive industries, is that it meant privatizing and selling what once belonged to all Americans.
