Robert Kirby: This is the place ... for me

Utah is the best-run state in America. I’m not the one saying this, even though I just did. It’s according to Samuel Stebbins, senior editor at 24/7 Wall St.

Stebbins bases his conclusion on unemployment, pension funding, GDP growth, poverty and some other stuff I read but didn’t understand. Utah, aka the Beehive State, tops all other states.

We’re followed by Washington and Minnesota. Coming in last: New Mexico, just behind Louisiana and Mississippi.

Utah topping all other states as far as “best managed” no doubt comes as an outrageous surprise to those of us who hate it here.
