Bull crap! They are in it for the money. And Bodi White gets an annual taxpayer funded salary currently


Show me where White is paid for anything involving St.George. Same for Rainey. If Rainey ever runs for office, the public can digest any possible wrongdoing, if there is any.

I love how people bring up a $750k contract though. What if his margin was only 10% netting him $75k for 3 years of service? The size of the contract doesn't mean much. Like you, I would like to know more about the details, but until we have them it's merely conjecture. Have you researched how many other no-bid contracts are awarded?

At the end of the day, they are still volunteers. They are helping citizens (like me) move this effort forward. When it comes time to ballots/elections/money we can revisit all of this. There are plenty of qualified individuals to hold office in St.George, once formed. And yes, it's going to happen:)

He gets a salary as a legislator. He is currently the legislative leader to get the SG school district established. Therefore, he is getting paid to help establish the SG school district, off of which he hopes to make a killing brokering land deals for the proposed SIX new schools for that district.

Where did your 10% margin come from? How do you know it's not a 50% margin? Or, 75% margin? Stop dreaming up faux numbers to excuse the crooks from stealing taxpayer dollars.

And so it's okay with you that political butt-buddies can rig what should have been a bid process contract into a no-bid contract? Are you that unethical along with them?
