May We Buy You A Drink Mayor Anderson?
by Ken Bingham
Isn’t it nice to be Mayor of Salt Lake City? Not only do you get to use your official email for political purposes but you get to pawn your bar tab off on the tax payer also.
It seems that Rocky Hck’P Anderson has been boozing it up and passing the bill onto the city.
The Mayor says it is necessary for him to wine and dine his buddies that roll into town to dispel the myth that Salt Lake is a squeaky clean city where you can’t get a drink. Well Mayor using that logic why don’t we tax payers pick up the tab for lap dances and prostitutes too? That would surely do the trick don’t you think?
Again Mayor Rocky Anderson is flouting the law. Salt Lake City forbids tax payer dollars being used to buy alcohol. The Mayor said the policy is “ludicrous” and should be changed. True or not it is still the policy Mr. Anderson. You should be following the law until it is changed. I guess Rocky believes he can break any rule that he does not agree with. There are many laws I don’t agree with. I think the tax laws are ludicrous, but I doubt the IRS would accept that as an excuse for not paying taxes.
If in fact Rocky Anderson has broken the law he must be held accountable. As long as he is given a free pass to flout the law he will continue to do so.
