Quotable: On Rocky
"I 100 percent support his decision to not run again. We're in 100 percent agreement on his position." James Evans, director, Salt Lake County Republican Party
"Every person that is in the position for mayor contributes what they have to contribute, and I think that whatever his contributions were, he has given them, and it's time to move on. I think it's always good for Salt Lake City and any city to have some new eyes and some new energy and some new commitment to the city." Nancy Saxton, Salt Lake City Council member and 2007 mayoral candidate
"I would say that Rocky has been a good mayor, and I will miss him. Obviously the relationships between our offices have been good for the past eight years, and I wish him well." David Yocom, Salt Lake County district attorney
"He has been a very strong, visible leader for Salt Lake City, and from some people's perspectives, a much broader arena than in Salt Lake City. So he'll leave in some respects a void, just because of the power of his persona." Ralph Becker, Utah House minority leader who also is considering a run for mayor in 2007
"I want to thank Mayor Anderson for his great service over the past six years in Salt Lake City. I think he's been a great friend and supporter of mine and wish him well on his future endeavors." Peter Corroon, Salt Lake County mayor and Democrat
