Val Hale introduced today's speaker, LaVarr Webb, political columnist for the Deseret News. He presented a scholarly treatise about government which is typically slow, bulky and inefficient. All of this works to slow the government's powers of coercion. And it only works in a moral society.
 
He spoke briefly about the two most interesting state political races this election, the race for the new fourth congressional seat between Mia Love and Jim Matheson, and the race for the Salt Lake Mayor between Ben McAdams and Mark Crockett.
