From Deseret News archives:
South Salt Lake candidates all hope to entice businesses
Mayoral candidate Bob Gray proposes a closer liaison with the business community, which often supports schools and civic events. Likewise, Boyd Marshall, who also is running for mayor, wants a close relationship between city hall and businesses as a way of courting those businesses to within city boundaries. Incumbent Wes Losser, who is seeking a second term, suggests that South Salt Lake could collect more sales-tax revenue by lobbying against a possible redistribution that the Utah Legislature is considering.
(Tony Clements, the fourth mayoral candidate, did not respond to a questionnaire distributed by the Deseret Morning News.)
Voters will select two candidates for each available seat in the Oct. 4 primary election and choose a winner in the Nov. 8 general election. Candidates were given an opportunity to respond to Deseret Morning News questionnaires; the following brief biographies are from those questionnaires.

Clements did not respond.
Gray, 65, has been on the City Council for eight years. As a retired police chief, he is concerned with the city's reputation for high crime. Gray suggests that South Salt Lake can shed that reputation "through a restoration of a community policing philosophy throughout the city government," and that city officials can work with citizens "to rebuild the partnership that it takes to curb crime and restore the quality of life that this community deserves."
