A Few Sage Words from One Gentle Reader

Gentle Reader Sharon corrals a Saturday morning Standard-Examiner article round-up

By Sharon

Who is conducting the UNcreative writing classes for the Godfreyites?

Two more unimaginative letters from the same course in the Standard-Examiner today:

Naysayers ignore Godfrey's achievements
Reader thrilled with Ogden improvements

Such a sameness in tone. The buzz words we've all come to recognize and love:

"GONDOLA"..."VISIONARY"...".

And, of course, the shop-worn meme from the now apparently defunct Lift Ogden:

"These naysayers never have any suggestions on what to do! They don't want a gondola, but I haven't heard any better suggestions. They just fight against anything the administration tries to do."

Sheesh!

Of all those who have reportedly filed for the upcoming election, only Neil Hansen and Amy Wicks actually addressed problems we have right now!

What do we know of Wald? Sexton? Where was he during the trolley discussions? Several meetings have been held on transit issues...it would have helped him to attend some of those.

Irons wants to make Ogden an "outdoor recreation mecca." Imagine that! What a new and original idea! Wonder if he's had a few creamed chicken dinners with you-know-who?

So far, only Hansen and Wicks have anything concrete to offer us. Hansen will have an open administration and he understands this city's needs. Honesty will prevail. Refreshing, eh? Wicks HAS served her constituents well and, thank goodness, she's put it in print that our infrastructure will be a priority!

Right now the Council must do all that is possible to protect our parklands from the Godfreyites.

"Fight Like Badgers"... good advice from Charlie Trentelman.

Council...go hire your own attorney. Stop listening to those city paid "naysayers" who tell you there is no way to put the parklands in trust.
