He's been slimming down though. That reduction from 5XL to 3XL may land him a couple chicks high on Jello salad. Slowed reflexes and all...

How did it go Trout? I'm sensing crash and burn by your lack of postage.

Do you write this after coming back from the Mormon guy meetup with the prophet?
Nope. I haven't been to one of those since my dad made me go when I was like 14. Haven't watched General Conference since my mission.
You missed out. I felt more guilty this year than in any year past. That's a good sign, right?
The mayor, who supports having the police department absorbed into Unified police
Where do you stand on this?

Maybe, if you approve of joining the Unified Police, you could email the mayor and express your support, as a city council candidate, on that issue. He might be willing to help you out if he knows you support this.
I personally don't like the Taylorsville police department. I think they are heavy handed and aggressive. I live in West Jordan and think the West Jordan police are great! They've even given me a couple of speeding tickets and I still don't hate them. I've interacted with them a few times and found them to be truly community minded police officers. The T-ville cops are thugs in comparison.
Just my very humble opinion. I typically support law enforcement, but I think that Taylorsville, West Valley and Kearns have had very poor police departments. Kearns is now in the UPD, and better for it!

Dave, these things contradict themselves on the issues you say you are going to focus on:
*Beautification of our neighborhoods, streets, and parks
*Curbing the ridiculous spending
*Beautification of our neighborhoods, streets, and parks
*Curbing the ridiculous spending
Negative.
First of all, you're not worth a response, but I'll bite and give you the, "Damn you're stupid, try to keep up." version:
Beautification of our neighborhoods, streets, and parks is paramount to the success of a city. I'll break it down as simply as possible: The city runs on tax dollars. You can only tax property so much, which means the other major source is sales tax revenue. If you're a business that is looking for a place to call home and you drive into a city that has poor upkeep, ugly parks, busted up streets and nasty neighborhoods, I think it's safe to say that you'll be taking your business -- and any future sales tax revenue -- with you to another city that gives a damn. I'm guessing you haven't driven through T-Ville lately and witnessed what the last eight years of doing nothing has accomplished.
Ridiculous spending includes $100,000.00 every year for three years to swap out street signs from green to blue so that they match the city's colors. That includes benefits for employees and elected officials that are better than most companies offer their employees. It also includes pay increases for city employees that fall above ordinances set by the city council, and thus are illegal.
