Frank: Bell Pick May Shake Up House Leadership

Rep. Craig Frank says of Gary Herbert's pick of Sen. Greg Bell to serve as lieutenant governor: "I know Greg Bell ... he is an honorable man. ... We wish our new executive team the best as they work with the state legislature as they face one of the most difficult economic circumstances in Utah's history. With Greg Bell vacating his state senate seat, a mid-term vacancy election will occur in his senate district within the next few weeks ... Those whose names are floating out there: Current House Majority Leader Kevin Garn, Former Representative ... Stuart Adams, and Current Representative Julie Fisher. If Rep. Kevin Garn runs for Sen. Bell's vacated seat and is elected/appointed through the mid-term vacancy process, this could create a 'domino' effect in current House leadership seats."
