Thank goodness someone stepped up to the plate to run against Mayor Tim Leavitt. Our city has deteriorated since Leavitt became mayor. Many open spaces and medians are ridden with weeds and debris and have been largely unkept. I contacted the mayor by email and have written letters to see why our tax dollars aren’t paying for basic services. He seems to forget that we pay his salary. Will I vote for Leavitt? A resounding “no.” He doesn’t seem to have pride in our city.
Mayoral candidate Bill Turlay attended one of our neighborhood meetings and he seemed to be honest and sincere. We deserve better than Leavitt.
