I have known Ben McAdams since before he became mayor of Salt Lake County. I have traveled with Ben. The first time we really got to talk, he was in the back seat of my truck on a road trip to southern Utah and I was amazed to meet a politician who really wanted to hear what I had to say — and didn't complain about being squeezed into a tight back seat.
I hear people say that all politicians are crooks and can't be trusted. After spending time with Ben, I can assure you that that is not true.
