Show ( Basin Stamdlard yJinllsih First Ammendment trampled in Duchesne! Our elected officials have a very difficult job to do. This fact has never been hidden from them. However, when they refuse to receive input from residents of their respective communities they are only making their job more difficult. Often times local elected officials are heard to respond that they are tired of the hassles and that they didn't really want the position in the first place. To these people we must ask, "Why are you in office?" No one can be forced into public office, and most likely there will be little glamour in the small town. However, the role is vital to the very existence of the community. When elected officials begin to give less than that of which they are capable, a disservice is inflicted upon the people of the community.. The incident in question may indeed be isolated but it should never have happened. No member of the public should be denied their right to speak. The Mayor and Council discussion. It does little good to hold discussion after the matter is settled by a vote. We must guarantee that meetings run smoothly and efficiently.

The City Council met in a legal executive session for nearly two hours. Upon reconvening in regular session, a motion was made and seconded. At this point one would think the council and mayor would have answered questions related to the motion, questions of which there were many. Only one question, however, was answered before the vote was taken. This may seem like a minor issue, but if business was meant to be conducted in this manner, why are such meetings declared "public."
