Standard Examiner Council At-large Seat "C" Questionnaires

Who'll be the first to toss in their own 2¢?

The Standard-Examiner has now uploaded its 2011 Ogden Municipal Election Council At-large Seat "C" questionnaires to the SE website. Here are the responses of candidates Amy Wicks and Steven D. Thompson, the two candidates who have legitimately participated in the race from the very start, and will appear on the November ballots only after surviving the September 13, Ogden Primary Election:
For reasons unknown, the Standard website is also carrying the responses of the late-starting usurper, right wing socialist Comrade Safsten, who willfully ignored the formal process, intentionally dodged any pre-primary campaigning and instead sneaked into the race as a write-in candidate, without the slightest Ogden voter validation, after the Primary Election smoke had cleared:
Regarding the "legitimacy" of Mr. Safsten's candidacy, we believe SE reader Bob Becker sums it up well, in this reader comment lodged below Mr. Safsten's SE response:
If Mr. Safsten wanted his seat on the council back he should have stood for election in the primary and allowed the people to send him through to the run off if they so chose. He did not earn a spot in this run off and should not be rewarded for his attempt to sneak in at the finish line. The other two candidates earned their places in this runoff. That matters.
That's it for now, Weber County Forum readers.

Yada yada yada.....................just vote AMY (proven, honest and smart), but to even consider the Mo Mo or Comrade Safsten for another chance is like letting Richard Nixon run the show again is just plain UTAH.  Remember, when entering that voting booth, use your brain and remember the mess THEY have gotten us all in on.
