Why I voted for Canice Harte for Summit County Council
So, I voted for Canice Harte for Summit County Council. I’m happy with my choice and thankful that I have one. Yet, this isn’t the typical endorsement you’d find in the Park Record. I don’t personally know Canice Harte. He didn’t coach my kid’s baseball team to some championship. I don’t know if he will …
Thanks for the support
A few days ago my wife and I were discussing the election. She turned to me and said, “It could have been worse. You could have got fewer write-in votes than Grizzley the Philadephia Flyers Mascot.” For those unaware, I ran for Summit County Council as a write-in candidate. In the end, I received 1,159 …
I’m running for Summit County Council. Let’s work together to make a better Summit County!
I’m excited to formally announce that I am running an unaffiliated write-in bid for Summit County Council Seat E. The tipping point for running was that there are seven positions up for election in Summit County and all races are unopposed. That’s not how it should be. Elections are a time when we should be …
Who does the Park Rag endorse for Mayor?
Who does the Park Rag endorse for Park City Mayor? Absolutely no one. Each election cycle we hope the Park Record will make the decision to stop endorsing candidates. Yet, it never comes.

How Summit County’s ballot manipulates the vote
Like many people around Park City, you’ve may have already sent in your ballot for next Tuesday’s election. You may have even cast a vote for or against local initiatives called Proposition 9 or Proposition 10 (on transit and buses). If you have voted, thanks! It’s one of the cornerstones of our democracy. What worries me, though, …

So, exactly who else can we vote for? And don’t mention that former governor who never heard of Aleppo.

I love election season…
We are now the “Sign Nazis”
Last night we talked about political signs and the need to have them taken down (when they are in violation of the law). Today we filed our first formal complaint against political signs. It’s actually quite easy thanks to Summit County’s great reporting tool. So, yes, you too can join us in our witch hunt against illegal …
Election Sign Violations
During the last election, we wrote about election signs that violated Summit County and Park City laws. It is illegal to put election signs in the “public right of way.” This basically means most signs you see along the side of the road violate election law. In the case of past election cycles, we really only …
