    I was listening to this today not knowing who Jeff was speaking to. I had heard that Waddoups is not very bright. After about 4 minutes, I concluded that whoever this Senator is, he’s a fool. I came on KCPW’s site to find out who it was. Waddoups cares more about protecting incumbents than the voters in that area. And “there are no independent panels”. Maybe not 100% but an independent panel would be better than having our politically homogenous government select the districts. We need a more balanced government in Utah. And a more intelligent one.
