Yesterday Ralph Becker released his “Blueprint for Neighborhoods and Gathering Places,” and, once again, I must admit that I am impressed with what Ralph wants to do for our City. I point to his ideas about treating Downtown as its own distinct and placing importance on the idea that “If there is one, it belongs [...]

And Down The Stretch They Come!
Man alive, it is only four weeks until the Salt Lake City mayoral primary. Now I am a little more involved than most in this election, but I am still amazed at how few people are actually paying attention to the race. Sadly, if the trend remains the same, only 10-15% of registered voters will [...]

I assume that he came to this conclusion only after it was discovered that money can not actually buy votes regardless of how much [...]
