Show Protest Ice Cream--Write-ln Will Lucas By DAVE ROWLAND Chronicle Staff Writer "When I was out of work a few weeks ago, I considered the posi-bility posi-bility of running for Mayor, but then I found out how much the city pays its public servants. However, I'm a write-in candidate in case anyone is interested in voting for me." Thus, Will Lucas, KALL radio's "most colorful and controversial personality" commented at the Hinkley Institute "Coffee and Politics" Pol-itics" session Thursday. Lucas conceded, con-ceded, however, that if elected, he would probably "hire business men and let them run the town. Of course, I'd have them call me if anything big came up!" Lucas, who burst into the Hinkley Hink-ley Caucus Room seven minutes late for his engagement, commenting comment-ing that his audience looked like "Communists," discussed among other things, his legislative proposal to restrict the sale of ice cream in Utah, his opinion of Mayor Lee, his term as a D.J. for KSL radio, and his association with Phil Hansen. Han-sen. When Lucas was asked if Phil Hansen had given him any backlash because of his comments on the Attorney General's Jaguar, he stated that he and Hansen "are the best of friends." After a pause, he mused, "Well, Phil and I at least speak to each other." On a more serious note, Lucas said that he admired Hansen's fighting fight-ing ability and his compassion for defending the underdog. "One thing he's dene is make a name for himself him-self in this area, but he's paid a helluva price. He knows that he's finished in Utah!" Lucas' opinion of Mayor Lee ran the gamut. "I'm opposed to Lee as a politician, but I like him as a man. Let's face it, he says he's the taxpayers friend, but when you look at the cities deficits, you wonder." When Lucas was asked why he had started smoking again after swearing off tobacco for a number of weeks, he replied that he had stood it only as long as Linus' Grandmother had. "But now she's smoking again, and Linus is back on the blanket." The question of "the action" available in Utah came, and Lucas argued in favor of the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council comments that Salt Lake City was "wide open." "You just have to know where the action is, but don't fret, it is here! As a matter of fact, you can get anything you want in this town." After a short pause Lucas' audience broke up in laughter. |
