Description Richard Mack, a former lawman from Arizona and failed candidate for Utah County sheriff, now is running for the state's top elected office as a Libertarian.
"It's time to throw some good old-fashioned competition at the Democrats and Republicans," says Mack.
Following an interview Thursday in The Salt Lake Tribune building in downtown Salt Lake City, Mack stopped to sip from a drinking fountain and remarked that recent fluoridation of the public water system was one of the stupidest actions ever taken by government.
But that's the way he feels about a lot of government policies.
He calls the federal anti-terrorist Patriot Act "an unconstitutional abomination," Utah's heavy federal land ownership "an absolute disgrace" and gun-control laws a joke.
