Polygamists Becoming Less Isolated

The polygamist communities living outside Las Vegas are being forced to adjust as more outsiders move to the region. St. George and Washington County, about two hours from Vegas, have grown rapidly over the past decade. “St. George, about 35 miles away, grew and changed, drawing more non-Mormons than ever before, and polygamist builders were often the ones framing rows of new homes and pouring concrete foundations,” the New York Times reported.

And so the two sides got to know each other better. Some people here said that they hated what they had read about Mr. Jeffs, but that they had come to like some of the polygamists they had met. “Awesome workers,” said Aaron Svedin, who works in quality control in a vitamin manufacturing plant in St. George where three young men from polygamist families have recently been hired. The first started as a mechanic, and Mr. Svedin, a member of the Mormon Church, said the other two were hired because the first man worked out so well. (nytimes)
