Standard-Examiner: Trio Squares Off For Ogden City Council Seat

To our considerable aggravation, the Standard gives the opportunistic Johnny-come-lately write-in candidate equal billing with the two legitimate Council At-large "C" candidates who've been slugging it out on the campaign trail in good faith since mid-summer

For those readers diligently following 2011 Ogden City Municipal Election news, the Standard-Examiner hard copy edition carries a brief Nancy Van Valkenburg story this morning, "focus[ing] on the goals" of the Council At-large "C" candidates "... and how they hope to get things done":

• Trio squares off for Ogden City Council seat

To our considerable aggravation however, the Standard gives the Johnny-come-lately write-in candidate equal billing with the two legitimate candidates, Amy Wicks and Stephen D. Thompson, who've acted in good faith and have been slugging it out on the campaign trail since all the way back in mid-summer. Somehow that doesn't seem quite fair, does it? We suppose though that the Standard believes that the political opportunist who draws his main campaign donation support from people who are itching to bulldoze Mt. Ogden Park (and indeed Ogden's entire East Bench) somehow deserves at least some public attention too.

Have at it, O Gentle Ones.
