# Hot Blava

The national debate will always seep over into local politics and thus, events on the national stage will find their way into Hot Blava. We hope that Hot Blava will be an interesting mixture of national issues and issues that affect Utah, and particularly Utah County where we live. Mostly, it is great to write about issues you're thinking about as it solidifies your thinking... or exposes your own irrationality. You can decide which is which.

### County Convention Update 4: The Rookie dilemma

Keryn asked Gary Anderson, who is running for one of two seats on the County Commission, if there was a downside to electing two rookies to the commission at the same time. He responded that he wouldn't be a total rookie since he had served on the commission 20 years ago. So he has the experience to do the job and the distance to have a fresh perspective. Interesting argument.
I mentioned to Keryn that it is also useful to remember that the Commission probably has a semi-permanent staff that will understand the day-to-day working of the office.
I heard a similar concern from a prospective temple president for an LDS temple. Having never run a temple, he was nervous about the assignment. But he didn't need to be worried. Each temple has a "recorder" that is there on the long term that worries about the day to day operations while the temple president can see to the spiritual leadership.
So being a rookie shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as there are institutional supports to make it work.
