to voice your concern over the shameful firing of Utah's utility watchdog, Roger J Ball, and the cowardly manner in which it was executed, call, write, or send an email to Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. be sure to remind him that such actions do nothing to support his campaign's promise that his would be a consumer-friendly administration, and that pandering to utility companies smacks rather more of a desire to play power politics. don't forget to mention that an upright governor wouldn't hide behind a hatchet man like Russell Skousen, the Executive Director of the Commerce Department, and just one of the cronies with which Huntsman's carpet-bagging administration is riddled. Skousen gave Ball 20 minutes to gather his belongings and leave the state premises before being escorted out; his books are still there, a week after the fact.

Huntsman is already under fire for this, as well he should be. turn up the heat on Governor Huntsman and let him know that making the already imperfect situation of government regulation worse by hobbling the process worries you as a consumer. as a resident of whatever state or country you may be, you will be sending an important message that will hopefully set an example for potential corrupters everywhere.

a further good idea would be to send your opinion to the local newspapers, The Salt Lake Tribune and The Deseret News, both of which have informative articles on the subject which can be linked to from the previous post on this site, thesack.
