The government closest to the people serves the people best.

There has got to be a discussion about the cost of health care.

I believe that the States can do this better for their unique populations than can the Federal Government.

I think we learn from each other. If Massachusetts has a great plan and the people of Utah like it, we will probably adopt it.

The worst thing that can be done for these sites, which have been preserved because of their remote location and lack of visitors, is to invite unsupervised visitors to an un-policed area.

If we wish to protect and preserve this area, drawing lines on a map that will encourage increased visitation without a corresponding increase in law enforcement and land management resources is not a solution to vandalism and desecration…

Refugees, as I look at them, are people running away from bad circumstances. We've had some of that in our own culture. Maybe that makes us a little more sensitive to that issue, maybe a little bit more empathetic because of our own…

Government closest to the people governs best.

People don't trust the Federal Government.

I hope we don't lose sight of the fact we have consensus on preservation and protection.

As evidenced by opposition from virtually every elected county, State and Federal official, the State of Utah strongly opposes any unilateral monument designation within our state.

In my proposed budget this year, I recommended an increase of 1.16% or $26 million for public education compensation.
