Letter: Gale should have been in Sunday’s paper
(Al Hartmann | Tribune file photo) Former Utah Congressman Jim Matheson, an advocate for compensation for the downwind population in Utah affected by cancer, speaks at the launch event for “Downwinders of Utah Archive” at the J. Willard Marriott Libray at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in October 2016.
Consistently, Don Gale writes about relevant issues in thoughtful, well reasoned submissions. Most thinking readers agree with him.
His April 29 commentary, “Legislative illiteracy drives Utah Nuclear waste bill,” was such a column. Yet it was relegated to Monday morning’s Opinion page, the least read issue of the week.
With a topic of this importance, why was it not in the Sunday edition where more readers could be made aware of nuclear waste storage that can affect every Utahn?
