Comments about ‘Election 2009: Candidates seek to shepherd Elk Ridge's growth’

Looks like a wide and diverse group. It is always good to see people interested in serving the community they live in. The only concern is Mr. Youd taking shots at the present or pass city officials, I have found that is always a BIG mistake. It usually a determination made in a void and without all the pertinent information, certainly makes the "I could or would do better than you" without any real credentials or credits to backup him up can blow up in his face now or later. Usually the former city officials can be a wealth of knowledge, don't turn them against you as they might let you stand alone. The learning curve can be hard for a new member. Don't burn bridges before you ever get elected.

Congrads. to all the candidates to have the courage and take the time to serve.

In keeping with a longstanding Deseret News policy of not publishing stories the day before or the day of the election, no comments will be posted on election stories Monday or Tuesday. The rationale for this policy being applied to comments is to prevent the last-minute dissemination of untrue allegations against a candidate that could influence voters.
