Sunday Morning Weber County 2014 General Election News Roundup

The most recent stories, concerning our upcoming 2014 Utah (and Weber County) General Election

In our relentless Weber County Forum fetish interest in covering Weber County politics to the hilt, we're delighted to post the most recent stories, concerning our upcoming 2014 Utah (and Weber County) General Election.

• Top of Utah candidates crowd in to file for 2014 elected offices
• Ogden lawmaker announces resignation to work for Mike Lee

In the most interesting plot development here, we're gobsmacked to learn that  learn that our very favorite  Utah GOP House Rep Ryan Wilcox will be abandoning his State House legislative post, and will be going to work for Senator Mike "Shortsale" Lee, notwithstanding Lee's still-developing political baggage:     

• Utah prosecutors forward allegations against Sens. Mike Lee, Harry Reid to feds

A bad political move for Wilcox, now that it's possible that Mike Lee "could be going down in flames," along with the GOP "Tea Party Movement," we ask? Who knows? Maybe a big fat (but short-term) paycheck will "make up" for that. Ryan's gotta feed his kids, right?

On a brighter note, it's good to hear that former Weber County Sheriff and Weber County Commissioner Craig Dearden will be running for Wilcox's soon-to-be-vacated legislative seat.

Comments, anyone?  Don't let the cat get your tongues!
