I am so glad to see a breath of fresh air in Salt Lake City. It needs a builder not a lightening rod. Anderson reminded me too much of the guy he hates- BUSH. Ironic but he had too much similar stuborness, was too devisive, and had a "my way" or the highway mentality. Maybe that is why he hates him so much and has been so much of an outspoken critic... too much similar leadership style... Becker can take Salt Lake City nowhere but up from where it has been when it comes to leadership!

True. Becker could be the shining star of mediocrity, but he'd look exceptional compared to Anderson.
