Interesting story in this morning's Standard-Examiner. Here's Cathy McKitrick's tantalizing lede:
OGDEN — Has Weber County outgrown its three-member commission form of government?Read Ms. McKitrick's full story, peeps, wherein she does a aboslutely marvellous job of rounding up and sharing many of the predictably contradictory and sundry viewpoints:
That question will be explored in a Sept. 3 forum hosted by the Weber County League of Women Voters and Weber State University’s Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics and Public Service.
Here are the Time/Space coordinates, folks:
Public Forum: A Study of Weber County GovernmentDuring recent months it's become painfully apparent to many of us that our antiquated three-member commission form of government has been plagued with more than a mite of serious dysfunction.
When: Wed, September 3, 7pm – 8pm
Where: Shepherd Union Building, Ballroom A (map)
Description: Should we change the form of Weber County Government? Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
We hope you'll all mark your calenders and be in attendance at the September 3 public forum, folks, as the best political minds in Weber County gather up, roll up their sleeves and take a gander under the Weber County Commission political "hood.".
A Weber County Forum Tip O' the Hat goes out to yeoman reporter Cathy McKitrick for the early heads-up.

As long as the caucus convention process remains in place a minority will control the selection process. i noticed that commissioner Gibson spoke of "special intereest" groups. Every group is a special interest group attempting to advance their cause and gain broader support. After all it was a special interest group that convinced the commission to spend public money on a gun range that will remain closed to the public.
