Take your ball and go home
Republican Salt Lake County hopeful Steve DeBry is calling for change in his campaign to unseat eternal council member Randy Horiuchi. Horiuchi's advertising cleverly dresses the Democrat in a Jazz outfit and proclaims that he's still "Got game."I guess the subliminal message is that a vote against Ol' Randy is a vote against the beloved Jazz.
DeBry argues that Horiuchi's 16 years in county government makes him susceptible to favoring special interests. DeBry is being polite. As some council members have put it, Horiuchi "has never met a developer he didn't like." Horiuchi has risen to a capo in the mega-developer Boyer Company family.
DeBry, a Sheriff's Office captain, wants to limit council terms to 12 years. As if the developers — who want to protect their investments in politicians like Horiuchi — are going to let that happen.
