Godfrey Transit Vision to Be "Unveiled" at Tonight's Work Session

Word has it that Godfrey will have us all singing "Kumbaya"

Got this Adobe PDF attachment in an email from Ogden City Council Communications Specialist Chad Phares on Tuesday:

Let this serve as a reminder of tonight's city council 5:30 p.m. work session, wherein Boss Godfrey will reportedly reveal, inter alia, his El Grande Great But El Cheap0 Street Car Plan.

Anybody who attends tonight's council work session is invited to report in on the "nitty-gritty" in our comments section.

Article length submissions will almost surely be promoted to a new lead WCF article, of course.

And one other thing in closing: Chad Phares is definitely doing a bang-up job in his position as City Council Communications Specialist.

We don't know what we're paying him, but we think whatever salary he's drawing should be immediately doubled.

Whereas we admit that we were earlier concerned about the concept of our city council employing -- OK we'll just say it -- a propaganda specialist -- we'll just now backtrack and say we really like Chad's work. He always delivers council agendas on time, in a form that's truly professional, as illustrated in the PDF link above.

We're also encouraged, that under council chairwoman Amy Wicks's most excellent and forceful leadership, the Ogden City public transit problem is finally being "brought to a head."

Our Ogden City Council seems to be approaching the Ogden City Transit problem the same way they approached the water infrastructure problem earlier this year. Ogden City demanded leadership that time. While Godfrey was dragging his feet on the water project, Amy Wicks and sensible council members got it done. We predict it will be the same now with respect to public transit, now that we have stronger leadership on the council.

Next poster... please!
