Gov. Gary Herbert says that it is a sad day for Utah because two former Attorneys General have been arrested. He is afraid that Utah will now wear a big black eye.

It is no surprise to me that I disagree with the governor. Whatever the outcome, the process underway shows that Utah is trying to live up to the appropriate standards and applicable laws.

It is a very good day for Utah.
