Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has reversed his stand on possibly prosecuting people on an anonymously released list of illegal immigrants purportedly living in the state. Shurtleff's office confirmed Friday that Utah's Workforce Services released information to the attorney general's office stating that some of the Social Security numbers on the long list, sent out last month to public officials and media outlets, may not be legitimate and could prompt investigatory action.

OGDEN -- The irony isn't lost on Eva Davila. For the past five years, Davila has collected regular paychecks from the Utah Department of Workforce Services as a licensed provider for the state's subsidized child care program. However, Davila maintains the dissemination of inaccurate information gleaned from that agency's records is now threatening her livelihood.

An execution is a sobering event that should be handled with dignity and professionalism. A life has been taken as justice for a crime committed. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's use of Twitter to pontificate just prior to the execution of convicted murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner last week was appalling. He took a very serious moment and politicized it with opinionated, inappropiate comments.
