Air Quality, Sex Offenders and Utah's Children

Why can Utah not have the same air quality standards as California or another state in which they are activiley trying to clean up their air? They have done all the work why not copy what they are doing. I too am planning to move and have convinced my extnded family to move because of the air and the lack of concern by the citizens in this state. A state that allows a medical incinerator to be less then a mile from a neighborhood or wants to build more coal plants is just frustrating and maddening to me. There is a reason why we have a high rate of Autism and asthma in this state. I am scared to have anymore children here.

Another maddening and unbelievable problem in Utah is that we allow SEX OFFENDERS to live anywhere they want!!!!! They can live right next to a school!!! How assinine is that!! I was told when I moved here that this was a state that loved children. I have only seen the opposite here, i.e. bad air, sex offenders, lack of parks, bad healthcare. So my question is this, WHY DO WE ALLOW SEX OFFENDERS TO LIVE NEXT TO SCHOOLS? WHY ARE WE GIVING THEM ACCESS TO OUR CHILDREN? WE ARE FEEDING OUR CHILDREN TO THE LIONS! We have more sex offenders then 27 other states. More then VEGAS(sin city) They come here because we are a nieve state. Please protect my children. I feel like to be a good mom I need to move to somewhere, where I feel like they care about the well being of the people. Please Utah WAKE UP!!
