I’m stoked about the number of jobs UDOT is creating with two high-visibility projects designed to reduce traffic congestion: a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon and widening Interstate 15 between Farmington and Salt Lake City.

Maybe I can get one, although probably not as a consultant.

I know these projects won’t solve anything because – wait for it – we’ll give up our guns before we give up our cars.
