Recent Events

I commented earlier about the lack of rest room facilities at the 11th Ave. park.  It's gotten worse...  Since the kids soccer season is apparently over, the remaining port-a-potty has been removed, leaving nowhere except the bushes where a park user can relieve themselves.  I also noticed quite a turnout at the park on Thanksgiving, so it's not like the park is unused.

Also, while dining at the Cinegrill the other night, we were told they are moving.  A major reason is the new parking meters, which, in the server's words, has hurt the restaurant significantly.  So much for SLC govt. supporting small businesses downtown.

Well, we lost.  But hopefully we raised some significant issues, and hopefully our elected officials
will seriously consider these issues.

And it was quite the experience, frustrating at times, but I did meet many interesting people
and learned there's much more going on in this city than I realized.  In general, my political
consciousness was raised considerably!

Thanks to all who voted for me and those who helped with the campaign.

I may continue this blog as a means to continue awareness of issues affecting District 3.  Stay tuned!
