Comments about ‘Letter: Salt Lake County needs a leader like Mark Crockett’

I don't have a direct interest in this race, but this letter seems to be about saying no, wanting no investment in our infrastructure, and no forward movement. What it fails to do is talk about the actual results of prior investments. Was the stadium a success to the community, and so forth. Just naysaying all the time is not constructive. Even Utah's hero, Romney, built his fortune on debt.

"We need a leader like Crockett."

I'm sorry, but "leaders" don't repeatedly violate campaign finance laws like Crocket admitted to doing in a past campaign and as an official complaint alleges again this campaign.

Thanks for your letter Mark, you are for but hey I'm not drinking from that austerity thing. It doesn't work. It has never worked.

Austerity may not work, but fiscal responsibility does. Some "infrastructure" projects are in reality a bridge to nowhere. Crocket seems to represent fiscal sanity in a world where many politicians never meet a dollar they don't want to spend.

I like my roads plowed when needed, unlike the neighbors from adjoining communities that are lucky when it happens. That is the difference between providing services and your version of "fiscal responsibilty" In the end it's just where you spend the money not who spends the money.
