I attended meet the candidate night and I went prepared to ask five questions. The questions were,
1. What are their feelings about the cares program? In particular, about money being spent for such projects as some of the story
2. How is, do they feel that the utopias situation should be addressed.
3. What was the previous occupation?
4. Are they familiar with agenda 21
5. How should the city address the Midtown Village?
Some of the questions were missed on some of the candidates, but here are my responses
Mayor Candidates
Chris Nichols:
Is against agenda 21
Feels that the care finances should be spread out amongst multiple organizations
He disagrees with my perceptions of the city Council was not listening to the citizens. He feels citizens need be more informed
Does feel that Utopia should be accountable to obligations
Should feel that there should be more town halls to inform the citizens of what’s going on
He is a real estate agent, so is familiar with land management
Meeting with Utopia tomorrow to address concerns
Robert Wright:
Against Utopia has written multiple letters to the city Council expresses concerns about how things are being handled
Does not feel that the ‘cares’ finances should be at dedicated to the story for center
Hans Anderson:
I’m familiar with this fellow, when he gave a presentation at the Orem tea party.
Still think the government should not be involved in private businesses
Was to find a way to limit Utopia
He did attend all Council meetings. Except for two. In one of those missed two he attended electronically because he was sick
I asked him about his rumored abrasiveness. He said one has to stick to principles and people voting records can determine their values.
He was the only one of the current high Council did not vote to raise taxes
Richard Brunst:
I didn’t have the chance to interview this fellow, but his paragraph says it’s been about the community
Is against Utopia

Mary Street:
Incumbent was not able to make it

Supports ‘cares’ financing

Sharon Anderson:
I didn’t take notes on Sharon because I’m already pro-Sharon
The last few years she’s been attending various meetings, city, county, state to express concerns of freedom and management
She appears to walk the walk and talk the talk and has been actively involved in the last few years.
Wayne Burr:
Didn’t like that the city gave Utopia $5 million
Against agenda 21
He says, is for the Constitution. So I asked him what the fourth amendment was using to know what was (I presume he did anyway. Since I didn’t, a little hypocrisy here on my end)
He was behind the signatures of objecting to a tax increase
Share as many similar opinions as Hans
Utopia, no performance
