Bountiful residents will have an opportunity Nov. 3 to seat a new mayor and two new council members. By and large, the incumbents have served well for two terms, eight years. Now they ask to be re-elected to a third term. These are not career positions.
Twelve years in office is too long for an elected official at any level whether municipal, county, state or federal. With term limitation, the need for campaign finance reform would probably be unnecessary.
This nation knows about entrenchment and political favoritism in public office. Term limits must be implemented sometime, somewhere. And now is the right time to elect a new mayor and council members for Bountiful.
I’m voting for Jeff Novak who has a solid record of executive leadership. Novak has a four-year plan to strengthen our local government and create an atmosphere conducive to the inclusion of all citizens in governing Bountiful.
I’m voting for Phill Wright and Eric Hattabaugh for city councilmen. They share Jeff Novak’s agenda for ethics in government and for district representation on the city council.
