And, that is why I am troubled by the decision to build a strip coal mine (Utah's First) just 10 miles from the park.
And, Acting Governor Herbert greased the wheels for it to happen.

Not only will the state and county and city all lose tax revenues from the loss of tourism dollars, but there will be increased costs to all for repairs that will need to be made to US89 in the area.
After all, heavy trucks cause more damage to roadways than smaller cars and trucks.
There was an excellent Opinion piece published over the weekend by the Tribune regarding this issue. It was written by Bobbi Bryant, a business owner in Panguitch.
An excellent read is a column by the Tribune's Peg McEntee back in June.
Just another in a series of reckless decisions by Gary Herbert in his 14 months in a leadership position.

Given his prior excuses, Gov Gary probably would say that he didn't know about tourists in Panguitch.
Herbert has been a disaster of a Governor. I don't think that Corroon can win this year, but I sure hope he tries again in 2012, because we're in for absolute ruin if Herbert stays til 2016.
I miss Jon Huntsman.
This is an outrageous post. "Gary Herbert hates Panguitch" ?! You must be outside your mind!
Another classic Caroon tactic: Try to incite hatred of the Governor. Polls show that Petey's strategy is failing.
Considering Petey has never even visited Panguitch adds more to the hilarity.
First,learn how to spell the name of your opponent. It makes you look smart. Well, at least it doesn't make you look dumb.
Second, if sending 400 coal trucks a day is something Herbert does to people he doesn't hate, I don't want to know what Herbert does to people he does hate.
Third, how do you know Mayor Corroon has never been to Panguitch?
