An unfunded mandate is when a government is supposed to provide a service that no tax dollars were made available for.<br /><br />Are you using the term socialist as a way to obfuscate the real issue here? <br /><br />Alvord stated that dental services do not increase the risk of a heart attack. That was not the purpose of the law. The purpose of the law is to put these devices in the hands of capable providers who can the deploy them. <br /><br />Finally I am not sure what you mean by your last comment. Maybe you could explain it better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142060911229450235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-69777779301795523852013-09-27T09:09:22.526-06:002013-09-27T09:09:22.526-06:00As for the AED issue, Dr. Alvord presented accurat...As for the AED issue, Dr. Alvord presented accurate and substantiated information to contrast the City's position. They ignored it.<br /><br />Second, he was fighting against an unfunded mandate. If you know politics so well, perhaps you could explain that to everyone.<br /><br />Thirdly, per your article, you support socialism. "The purpose of the law is to get more of the AED's into the community where they have the possibility to be deployed." and "He is a man of means and privilege that could have used that means for the community good. " So, all those who make a decent salary should support the rest of us at Government's demand. If people want to do it personally, great. Otherwise, government needs to restrict its role.<br /><br />Lastly, perhaps a review of Utah Code is in order; but then again, you know politics. So, me explaining how the Mayor is the CEO of the City under NEW LAW passed after 2005 should no impact on your vast understanding from Figurehead Mayor Money.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858052661865974202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-30565629999810840892013-09-18T15:22:15.702-06:002013-09-18T15:22:15.702-06:00Unfortunately Nathan, If I were to give a a letter...Unfortunately Nathan, If I were to give a a letter grade for mastering the concepts offered by my post you would get a D-. You did, after all, get your name right. <br /><br />He doesn't have the temperament to be an effective leader.<br /><br />He is so engrossed in his own selfish pursuits that he is incapable of seeing how his actions both positive and negative impact the community as a whole.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142060911229450235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-26408670094695238462013-09-16T23:40:55.201-06:002013-09-16T23:40:55.201-06:00Reading your article, as far as I could tell, ther...Reading your article, as far as I could tell, there were a couple points you were trying to make. Correct me if I'm wrong. The first point I got was that he lacks moral character because first, he personally attacked you from his professional facebook page, and second because he is opposed to having an AED in his dental office. So because of these two things, his morality isn't sufficient enough to be a mayor. <br /><br />The second point I got was that he only cares about himself and is "David" minded, and doesn't understand government because he wants to cut taxes, bring in secondary water, and limit high density housing. <br /><br />Am I close to what you were going for or way off? I feel like you were trying to give reasons why you can't support him, and don't think he's a good fit for mayor...at least that's what you say the article is about. Yes?...no?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314124339712239276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-18695848301175688562013-09-16T18:43:24.541-06:002013-09-16T18:43:24.541-06:00Thanks for the input Nathan.

My children continued to get dental work from him. I just don't think he is the best guy to be an ambassador for a city like South Jordan. <br /><br />I know how politics work. Thats why I wrote this post.

Doesn't the city vote for the mayor that they think best represents what they want the city to do or become? It's not like David is trying to hide these facts. If that's what South Jordan residents want, they will vote for him...if not, they won't. The same things your are against (cutting taxes), lots of residents are for. It sounds like you are bitter at him about your previous childish facebook argument and just want to slander him a little bit. This post to me came across as very juvenile. But, you are entitled to your own opinion, just like everyone else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314124339712239276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-13720185627899048732013-09-15T18:49:27.142-06:002013-09-15T18:49:27.142-06:00I am not sure what you are saying here.I am not sure what you are saying here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142060911229450235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191411025124123448.post-47107700272788457642013-09-15T17:15:48.308-06:002013-09-15T17:15:48.308-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05863936562620134953noreply@blogger.com
