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.

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.
