Burn Baby Burn

My parents now live in Ogden, Utah and my Dad is currently running for the Utah House of Representatives on the Democratic Ticket.  His platform focuses on education and clean air.  Currently there is an issue that he's been active in protesting.  There was/is a plan to burn down approximately 46 houses along a river bend in Ogden.  They want to get rid of these eyesores as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they're going to let the fire department torch them.  Of course my Dad, as a physician and a clean air advocate, does not support this plan.  He was on KSL last night speaking his piece, and he was quoted on a front page article in the Salt Lake Tribune today.  Check it out if your interested.
