Becker talks with Obama, transition team in Chicago
14 comments | Read story
Here's my question's. Oh dear, before your Utah in name only icon, Salt Lake City mayor, met with Obama's transition team in Chicago, did he first get the ok to do so from Utah's secret society of 90 men there in Utah along with President Thomas S. Monson, as well?.
However, Becker is actually a fairly reasonable and perceptive guy (for a liberal Democrat) and hopefully made good input to the meeting and was smart enough to not sign up for any of the wacky big city solutions they may try to sell.
Look at any city larger than Salt Lake and ask if you would want THEIR taxes, crime, infrastructure, gang problems, illegal immigration problems, political intrigues, debt, or intrusion into personal liberties instead of Salt Lake's?
Instead, we should see what those cities have been doing and do the exact opposite. (Electing a Republican mayor instead of a Democrat would be a good first step!)
will prove to be an invaluable asset in these troubled times. Mayor Becker is wise to listen to Obama's sage counsel and implement any suggestions that Obama may have to offer the residents and local government of Salt Lake City.

Becker isn't a Mormon. So why would he need to get Monson's okay. It seems to me that everytime there is a Utah related article involving a politician it is assumed that he is a Mormon but in this case you are wrong and if there was a secret society I doubt very much it would remain secret for long if people needed their "ok" to meet with the President-elect.
Hmmpfhh... Obama's Wise Counsel is truly an oxymoron.
How considerate of you to involve yourself in the issues of mundane Utah - are there a dearth of local issues for your Floridian taste? Your incoherent ramblings on the national scale are difficult to follow, at best; you would do well to keep your nose out of this western state, even by local standards, you're in way over your head.
