There has been a lack of funding to come in because of the bad economy.

Ogden's ice tower dreams melted?

May I be the first to propose that we change the name of the ice climbing tower to the Fortress of Mayoral Ego? I think we're getting some valuable insight into deep-rooted psychological issues here.

The Fortress of Mayoral Ego
April 10, 2008
The Standard-Examiner reports this morning that on Tuesday night the Ogden City Council unceremoniously dumped Boss Godfrey's hare-brained "Fortress of Mayoral Ego Project" from the Ogden City 2011-2015 Capital Improvement Plan.
• Ogden's ice tower dreams melted?Ever-loyal Godfreyite department manager to the end, Ogden City Public Services Director attributes this action to "the bad economy," politely declining the opportunity to describe this knuckleheaded project for what it really was... possibly the dumbest proposed boondoggle in Boss Godfrey's ten years at the Emerald City mayoral helm.
As the smoke clears on this now deep-sixed project, only a single lingering question remains, or so it seems to us:
Will Godfrey crony John Gullo be demanding his $63 thousand donation/bailout back? Or will he be content to let this tidy sum permanently disappear down the Ogden City money hole?
