In an act bereft of leadership, Peter Corroon’s goodbye gift to Salt Lake County is a proposed 17.5% property tax increase.

The following is a profile I wrote about Derek Brown, representative to the legislature from Utah’s 49th district, for Examiner.com (Please click on over and read it there!).
