The Standard-Examiner carries this interesting story this morning on the front page of the hard-copy edition:
• How much should your mayor make?In it, Mr. Schwebke interviews a cadre of local business "leaders" (all Friends of Matt, curiously), who think that the salary for Ogden Mayor should be increased "to attract more qualified candidates".
Is this a tacit admission that another pizza delivery boy and ne'er do well is a bad idea for Ogden?
Best Quote of the Month Award to Councilwoman Dorrene Jeske:
I'm sure he isn't paid as much as he should be," she said. "This form of government costs more than it's worth because of all the high-paid directors we have.Kinda puts him over a barrel, doesn't it? I think that what she's really saying, in a very polite way, is that if he quit paying other people to do his job, then he'd be able to make more.
