Having just read Krista Hughes’ Oct. 27 rebuttal to George Pyle’s Oct. 13 commentary about former Utah House Speaker Greg Hughes, I kept looking for a credential other than sharing the same last name.
At the end, as I feared, that credential is not a semi-independent expert opinion. She is his wife.
I'm gonna up the ante just a hair. Should I be so unlucky as to be the subject of one of your columns, can my mother write the rebuttal?
