SWEEP!!!!

The Ogden Townsfolk have spoken.

They're tired of having grandiose and hare-brained projects shoved down their throats.

They're tired of city councilpersons who get elected, and then tell the voters "shove it," and then taunt the people who voted for them, based on their political lies.

They're tired of ego-maniacal mayors, whose idea of the constitutionally-guaranteed "republican form" of government is the same as the old one in the Roman Republic, when Rome was ruled by a dictator -- or the one that Plato, inventor of the "republican government form concept" had in mind when he made this memorable quote:

"Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large." —Plato

Mayor Godfrey says something like that constantly at almost every city council session.

Ogden citizens are tired of arrogant elected public servants who consider "the people" to be "rude" and uninformed.

The Ogden voters apparently got tired of even looking at the botched likes of Jorgenson & Burdett, and rejected Steve and Dori out of hand.

Why did they get rejected? Perhaps the Godfrey "taint."

Go figure.

Can you say "Referendum?

Anyway, here's the hand-carried rough vote, which I received tonight by from City Recorder Gloria Barret:

At Large "A"
Bill Glasmann -- 3,751 -- 56.05%
Kent Jorgenson -- 2,941 -- 43.95%

At Large "B"
Donna Burdett -- 2,906 -- 43.35%
Dorrene E. Jeske -- 3,786 -- 56.48%

Municipal Ward 1
Jesse M. Garcia -- 499 -- 59.05%
Dori Mosher -- 346 -- 40.95%

Municipal Ward 3
Steve Larsen -- 701 -- 41.19%
Doug Stephens -- 1,001 -- 58.81%

The People of Ogden 4; Gang o' Six 0.

There may remain a few uncounted votes.

The message remains the same though.

The voters decided to put FOUR COMMON SENSE ADULTS on the next city council.

I think the people have spoken; and I offer them my heartfelt congratulations for their Ogden common sense.

Let's hope the outgoing lame duck council doesn't do anything "really stupid" as their "last revenge."

And what say our gentle readers about this?
