This Completes the Std-Ex Series.

The Standard-Examiner has published the last in its anticipated series of four articles, profiling the nineteen candidates vying for the four available Ogden city council seats. The Std-Ex editors have really knocked themselves out on this, having gotten the final of these articles out in print a full three days prior to the Ogden municipal primary election.

Today's Lynze Wardle article contains delightful campaign tidbits from each of the four candidates running for Fasi Filiaga's Ward 3 seat.

Among them, candidate Steve Larsen has a "secret plan," (which has an eerie "feel" about it, reminiscent of another secret plan, in another American era far, far away.) Ron Hale admits that he needs "more information," (which is not a reassuring thing to hear from a council candidate at this late stage of a primary campaign.) Doug Stephens, the article notes, was the candidate who failed to stop the Filiaga juggernaut when now-retiring incumbent Filiaga first ran for the city council in 1998. And candidate Mitch Moyes says, among other things, that he plans to "open a driver's training school" sometime in the future. This latter platform plank will no doubt be a real vote-getter, for those of us who navigate the streets and byways of Weber County, demolition-derby style, practicing the ultra-defensive and self-preservation-intense driving skills that white-knuckled local drivers necessarily develop in order to safely drive from local place to place.

I've added this story to the Weber County Forum sidebar, along with the other similarly information-rich Std-Ex articles that have been run in recent days on the topic of the Ogden city council race. Be sure to check the whole candidate info section out before you head to the polls on Tuesday to vote out all the council incumbent "rubber stamps." There's lots of good information there.

Comments, gentle readers?

Anyone who has time to read your political bullshit and then change their opinion because of it must be in college, and low and behold ozboy is, no one cares about your views, at least anyone that doesn't secretly want to see you naked, I guess that's why your mom comments all the time.

Anonymous and fools like him slip over from thegoddinogden.blogspot site. They are really uninformed people, fawning over the Mayor and all his foolhearty, money loosing projects because "at least he's doing something." There's anothe guy, Utmo, creator of the other blog, who is young and reckless and pretty ignorant of the facts. His position, which he adamently aruges, is that he has no position, and he's right. His thought is that, "if the others do it, so will I." That shows little or no substance.

These guys back Mosher, Jorgensen, Larsen and any and oll of the Mayor's handpicked trolls. These are the same people who have, or would if elected, charge ful speed ahead, with no research or input, into funding the recreation center with our money and then giving the opearations to the two entities, Golds and Fatz, to run without any capital investment on their part. If the rec center bellies up, the financial burden becomes the obligation of the Ogden City taxpayers.

Lancer, Stein, Utmo, Anonymous, a pack of uneducated people who just want to see their name in print on some blogsite because they can't see it otherwise. Not much of what they say has ever made sense and most likely never will.

They all should be sent to their rom with a spanking and no supper.
