Senator Investigates Alleged Misuse of Public Monies

By Sharon

There's an interesting article in yesterday's SE -- Page one:

SENATOR TACKLES MUNICIPALITIES' TRYING TO SWAY VOTES.

This article deals with a BALLOT initiative in which public money has been used to try to sway voter opinion.

"Voters in five southern Davis County cities narrowly approved creating the district by fewer than 300 votes. Opponents of the district and its $18 million bond for a NEW RECREATION CENTER contend that the election was improperly swayed by literature distributed in a Bountiful city newsletter".

Sen. Stephenson, R..Draper (hstephenson@utahsenate.org) has asked the attorney general's office to review the matter. A new team of attorneys is currently looking at the complaint.....

I find this interesting, indeed. This rec center was put to a vote! Ours, of course, wasn't. We all know that sordid story of alleged misuse of public monies, improper use of city employees, mayor and family, etc.

So, we've been bonded without a vote. Now, comes the gondola scheme.

Many of us... IF the council and planning commission sell us out, literally, want a vote.

Sen Stepenson 'is envisioning creating stiffer penalties for cities that use public money to try to sway voter opinion on ballot initiatives."

No wonder Godfrey is so afraid of a ballot initiative for his legacy. He's been using public money all along to push this scheme and pimp for Peterson.

A gondola movie at the 'family night' movie for a captive audience at the ampitheatre. Enclosures in utility bills! Trip to Europe and being courted by the gondola makers. Trip to Vegas with Geiger to show off the new 'ski hub' Ogden in a video.....gondola car and video at the Newgate Mall, still spouting the lies that everyone but the LO's now know are lies.

Curt Geiger told my husband that HE paid for the gondola car to be put at Newgate. HE paid the rent there. HE paid for the brochures THAT WERE DISPLAYED ON THE TABLE OUTSIDE COUNCIL CHAMBER DOORS, til I complained! On and on and on....

IF this scheme goes thru as "OlD TIMER" portends because Godfrey is now trolling the council (individually...does he never learn?), to stack the planning commission with his patsys so the general plan can be amended and we are sold down the river.

We must call for a ballot initiative and encourage Sen Stephenson to push through stiffer legislation against moral bullies like Godfrey.

Another reason to retain Sen Dave Thomas! Oy vey, what would Greiner do????

Comments, gentle readers????
