If only for archival consistency, we'll point to last night's Salt Lake Tribune story, wherein reporter Chris Smart draws a bead on the Boss Godfrey budget 2010 veto story, although Mr. Smart's report may be possibly a day late and a dollar short:
• Ogden's Mayor Godfrey fires back, says City Council wants to usurp powerAs we look back on happier times for the the Salt Lake Tribune, back in the heady days when warhorse Tribune reporter Kristen Moulton used to regularly attend Ogden City council meetings, and scoop the Standard-Examiner like clockwork with her hard-hitting and timely stories, we'll nevertheless remark that we're happy to see that the Trib hasn't at least dropped coverage of Ogden's tyrant mayor entirely. And in these economic lean times, we'll take whatever we can get from the economically-challenged Salt Lake Tribune, even if the coverage descends to Mr. Smart's relatively meager offerings.
The ongoing scuttlebutt has it that Godfrey will one day declare his candidacy for higher office within Utah government... or perhaps Godfrey will make a run for the federal congress. Gawd knows nobody in the private sector would ever hire this financial/managerial incompetent, so it would appear that an elected government job would be his only future option, (other than reverting to his earlier [and more successful] career as a pizza delivery boy.)
Thank goodness that people like Chris Smart are educating The Tribune's readership about Boss Godfrey's hideous foibles, however belatedly. Imagine having Matt Godfrey sitting in the Governor's chair some day. Ouch!
And don't forget to check out the reader comments under today's Trib article. It would appear to us that even SLTrib readers are finally coming to understand the twisted "Boss Godfrey drift."
Don't let the cat get yer tongues, O Gentle Ones.
