So one Utah County Republican has recorded another landside victory to replace another Utah County Republican, who also recorded his share of landslide victories, in the U.S. House of Representatives.
To folks who aren’t from around here, that may not seem like much to either celebrate or lament. But the fact is that the new boss is very much not the same as the old boss.
John Curtis, who was finishing up his second term as mayor of Provo, is refreshingly different from his four-and-a-half term predecessor, Jason Chaffetz.
Chaffetz was a too-clever-by-half media hound who seemed to take pride in the political enemies he made and never showed that he cared very much about making any legislative progress on any important issue.
