From Deseret News archives:
County deputy mayor Dayton takes reins for now
"I just wanted to get through the year and find a good job after everything was done," Dayton said prior to his appointment by the council.
Despite taking the top spot, Dayton said he does not plan to drastically change the policies of Workman. Instead, he will try to return the focus to the county's core purposes.
"I consider this Mayor Workman's administration. I'm not going to move into her office or put my name on the door," Dayton said after being appointed Tuesday. "I'm just going to do the best job on this for as long as I need to do it. I would really like to see county government have a sense of stability and peace over the next few months."
Dayton was also charged with three misdemeanors in Ogden city in 2000 because he warned motorists of a speed trap by standing on the side of the road holding a sign. The charges were eventually dismissed by a judge, who ruled that they violated his right to free speech.
Although better known to county insiders and fellow government officials, among those who have worked with him there is little doubt about Dayton's ability to run the county.
