Scott Milne Matheson
1977-1985, Democrat
Scott M. Matheson was Utah's twelfth governor since statehood, serving two terms from 1977 to 1985. During his administrations, Matheson dealt with issues including water management, federal and state land exchanges, wilderness designations, the possible basing of the MX missile system in Utah, the transfer of "Weteye" nerve gas bombs from Colorado to the Tooele Army Depot, and the effects of nuclear testing on southern Utah residents. One of Matheson's key interests was energy development in Utah. He also contended with problems resulting from severe floods and mudslides that Utah experienced in 1983. Federalism and regional development played an important role in Matheson's policy decisions. During his two terms, Matheson served as chairman of the National Governors' Association's Subcommittee on Water Management, the National Governors' Association itself, the Council of State Governments, the Western Governors' Policy Office, and the Four Corners Regional Commission.
