If I still lived in Salt Lake City, I wouldn’t be writing this. I would be too careful and cautious and worried about offending anyone to say what I really think. I left the Beehive State a year ago and now feel even more free to speak my mind.
I know and like many of the folks running for mayor of Salt Lake City. Jim Dabakis, Luz Escamilla, Erin Mendenhall and David Garbett are all people I admire. I have worked closely with all of them in different capacities. I would call each of them a friend. They all have traits that make them compelling mayoral candidates and would bring something different and distinct to the job.
