Our gentle readers will recall our December 3, 2005 article, wherein we discussed our Ogden City council delegation's four-day National League of Cities conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. As you'll recall, they'd received some gentle "ribbing," about hob-nobbing the the neoCON faction.
The convention ended last weekend; and our delegation returned to Ogden, with box-loads of information in hand. Both council-members-elect Dorrene Jeske and Bill Glasmann graciously volunteered to provide us full reports. True to their words, I received detailed articles yesterday evening. In the interest of conserving front page-space, I'll make them available through the following links:
You can read Dorrene's Jeske's report here.
You can read Bill Glasmann's report here.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank both of these new council-members for expending the time and energy to inform our readers about the Charlotte event. It's obvious that they both worked hard and learned much.
What's more, it's very encouraging to observe that both of these new council-persons are delivering on their campaign promises, even prior to their formal swearing-in, to keep the townsfolk informed.
Their lame-duck predecessors arrogantly behaved as if our Weber County Forum readership, numbering now in the thousands, didn't even exist. Of course, that's no different than how they treated the general public.
A tip of the hat to Dorrene and Bill, I say.
It's a new day in Ogden, I think.
And what think our gentle readers about this?
