Governor still vetting his nominations for prison relocation committee

SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert may have to pick up the pace if a proposal to consider potential relocation of the state prison is to meet a legislatively set deadline.

After weeks of debate, state lawmakers approved legislation this year calling for the establishment of a new prison relocation and development authority (PRADA) and for that group to meet by June 15.

The makeup of the board was a sticking point for legislators. The board is to be made up of 11 members, six of whom will be appointed by the governor. To date, the governor has not appointed anyone to the board.

Finding wisdom in mom’s little tidbits

The older I get, the smarter my mom gets. (Funny how that happens).

She celebrates her 80th birthday this month. She’s practically a matriarchal genius. As far as mothering goes, she’s seen it all — and done it all.

She raised seven children to adulthood, kept us from annihilating ourselves (and, at times, each other), fed and clothed us on a shoestring income, helped dad with his television repair business (taking care of customers, hauling bulky televisions, and keeping the books), and managed to mother most of the neighborhood’s ragamuffin kids too.
