Comments about ‘Election 2009: Newcomer scores decisive win over 3-term councilwoman in Provo’

Congratulations Laura!

Now let's do the same thing to Congress and get the old and ineffective out and the better In!!

GO BECK!

Congrats Councilman Beck. Look forward to great things over the next 4 years.

Finally came to their senses.

Good luck to Beck. But this "out with the old and in with the new" is a scary new generation. This new Obama generation doesn't understand the value of experience and just wants "change! change! change!" My guess is most these folks don't even know the "change" they want. But hey, "out with the old and in with the new" is the cool way to go. I think Beck will eventually do fine, but it will be a huge learning curve. Thank you Cindy for your time on the council.

One of the problems with winning an election in District 5 of Provo is constant turnover. Your friends may not be here next time around. Beck had that on his side. He got all the benefit of the Stop Cindy campaingn, and yet I still don't know what he himself is for? The only thing I've heard him say is he would support downzoning his own neighborhood to get rid of duplexes through an amortization program, if the program came from the citizens, and a majority of them.

74 votes is not decisive. The absentee ballots are coming in tonight. It could be less than that.

Winning a negative campaign is not something to be really proud of.

To get the vote Beck promised everything from less regulations and no zoning like Houston Texas to phasing out single family homes that have been turned in to duplexes and triplexes.

We know where his vote will really lie. It is with those who funded him.
