David R. Ibarra: 'Mendenhall has proven she cares more about a photo op and pandering to the well-off, than rolling up [her] sleeves and making the tough choices.'
I’m not better off now than I was a few years ago. Salt Lake City is measurably less better off than it was a few years ago. This administration has raised taxes almost 5% and has also asked for record high investments through bonding. I support using my taxpayer money to make investments in our city, but not with a mayor who’s demonstrated she has trouble making decisions and one who is having a hard time maintaining the infrastructure we currently have.
What Salt Lake City has been experiencing became clear to me when a friend called our mayor a celebrity politician. Mayor Mendenhall has a task force of public relations people, more than any other Salt Lake City mayor before her. From my seat the Mendenhall administration is more focused on looking good, than doing good work. There is no shortage of photo ops work, filling potholes has even been turned into a press event for the mayor.
