First the San Diego mayor wants taxpayers to pay his legal fees. Now, on the front page of the Aug. 2 Tribune, I read "Utah taxpayers foot bill for part of A.G. Swallow's defense."

Maybe if these idiots knew they would have to pay their own legal fees, they would think twice before they do something stupid.
