INFRASTRUCTURE & PROACTIVE SMART PLANNING

*I have reserved feelings about sharing this but it needs to be said, in addition to everything above that sets me apart from the rest, we lost our two older boys, Timmy-22 & Jason-26, ninety three days ago (3 months) on April 29th in a horrific triple fatality rollover on SR-18 here in St George! They were my stepsons, thus the different last name as I was their Dad for 15+ years! Details & short & clip of Tim's friend & witness can be seen here; http://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2017/04/29/cgb-rsw-2-die-1-in-critical-condition-in-3rd-fatal-crash-on-sr-18-in-4-weeks/ #.WX-dHoTyuwU
I truly want to make difference and serve in their honor! I pledge to NEVER be a "Status Quo Joe", a Career Politician or a "Yes Man"! I am Not Afraid to Rattle Cages & Shake Up the Establishment some if needed! I will rally for Term Limits in StG, fight against Federal Overreach & truly represent WE THE PEOPLE, ALL people including those that have needed a voice for some time here in Southern Utah!

The Lt Gov's Election's office has made it super easy due to luck of the draw. Just remember to MARK THE FIRST NAME ON YOUR BALLOT, Marc A. Stallings.

"Stallings, called water one of his “hot topics” and stressed the need for water conservation as well as the exploration of additional water resources but not necessarily the Lake Powell Pipeline due its potential $2 billion-plus cost.
“We can’t guarantee the Colorado River can sustain such a project,” Stallings said. “We need to look at conservation and the aquifers and our other resources available to us. The pipeline isn’t the only solution, folks.”
In the end, the pipeline may very well be the best solution, Stallings said, but he’s not on board with the project right now either.

"Stallings, has been an active member of the state and local Republican Party organizations, said he was opposed to the pipeline idea for now, arguing that conservation should be more of a priority. "Why is it that Utah has the highest per-capita water use in the United States?" he asked. "It's time to start talking about conservation."
