In the June 5 issue of The Salt Lake Tribune, the candidates for Utah governor were asked what they would do to address the gender wage gap in Utah. The answers were nice and hopeful.
More telling would have been a hardball question: What did you do in the past to address these issues? One was once a governor, the other is the current lieutenant governor, another was speaker of the House. All have had ample opportunity to address this issue. Even Mr. Wright, as former GOP chairman, could have influenced the party.
It is all well and good to hear ideas, plans and hopes. Finding out what they did when they had the authority and influence is far more telling. I recommend The Tribune goes back, asks these questions, verifies the answers and prints it.
