Rep. Clark declares candidacy for Provo mayor's seat

John Curtis is a solid candidate and will be a great Mayor. I think it's great for Provo to finally have two honorable men to choose from. I can appreciate what Steve brings to the table, but I think John's got the professional experience that Provo needs right now. We simply need a leader not another politician.
Billings has wasted millions upon millions of dollars and completely decimated the City of Provo that was left in very strong fiscal shape by his predecessor. Now he has to keep in office to continue to cover up the mess that has been created and try to find some sort of legacy.
Billings, it is time to go regardless. The citizens don't trust you and the employees utterly despise you. It is time to take your command and demand style of dictatorship somewhere else.
Time for a new leader, a real manager in Provo.
Gratefully, the field of candidates is filling up with competent and visionary people. Now's your chance Provo. Pick a real winner. We deserve it.
I think Steve just doesn't understand Provo and thinks more about himself than the needs of our city.
John Curtis has the understanding and temperament to be a great Mayor with the passion to make real positive changes for Provo and mend the fences that Billing knocked down. We need John Curtis.
I really think I like John Curtis. I asked him why he is running and I think he has great ideas for Provo. In my opinion he would be a great leader and Mayor.
I don't know how to say this without letting it be known that I think Clark was one of the worst legislators on the hill but I am sure that the people in his District will be able to find someone worse--
Without a credible Governor to control the silly boys I am sure the state will run a muck for the next 18 plus months.
Keep your arms and legs inside the right wing ride and hang on!!!!!!
Aside from living here for most of his life, serving a term on the city council and his years as a State Rep for Provo, sitting on several city boards and councils, not to mention his wife's current term on the city council, what would give anyone the idea that he doesn't understand it? What more does one person need to have a "grip on Provo" other than a lifetime of service to it?
As it stands, there is no one better qualified, or ready with ideas.
I don't know John Curtis, and most people don't. I'll be very interested to hear what his ideas are and how he intends to accomplish those ideas. Everything I've heard up till now from his camp is very abstract. You can be more specific. Provo's not a very big town.
At this point, I think Steve has the edge in experience and ideas. Good luck!
