But Jeff Hartley, a spokesman for Cannon, said the bill will likely be changed.
...
We want all sides at the table in this, said Hartley, adding that all aspects of the proposal are open for discussion.

Jeff Hartley, communications coordinator for Chris Cannon, attributed this decline to increased training among law enforcement.
...
Utah became a hotbed for methamphetamine production in 1996 because law enforcement elsewhere were prepared for it and it caught Utah off guard, Hartley said.

Furthermore, gangs coming from Mexico to California in 1996 and 1997 used Salt Lake City as a hub to distribute methamphetamine, Hartley said.

...
These gangs could lie low in rural communities without being noticed, Hartley said.

The largest problem rural areas are facing in controlling the methamphetamine problem is the cost of destroying the labs.

...
The chemicals used in producing methamphetamine are so toxic they cannot be easily cleaned up, Hartley said.

Hazmat crews, specially trained individuals to handle hazardous materials, must be brought in to destroy the building, Hartley said.

The cost of bringing in these specialized teams is expensive and rural areas are not able to finance the operations with their tax base, Hartley said.
