Standard Re-Examiner catches up to the D-News: Garwood to chair a committee

The Standard Examiner finally catches up to what we already know. (See Here) Mayor Garwood will be heading up a National Committee.  The Deseret News ran this same story three days ago (See Here), but now we get to here "the rest of the story."  Thanks to our Re-Examiner reporter Jamie Lampros we now have of some more information as to Mayor Garwood's agenda. He will not be pushing issues like, outlawing skateboarding in your town and how to building a rec. center gym facility. Instead Mayor Garwood says the following:

"I would like to focus on revitalizing older neighborhoods as far as housing and keeping ownership and history in those homes," Garwood said. "I would also like to look at ways cities can help create more jobs and influence the job market and bring in new businesses."

NLC president Kathleen M. Novak said:

"I will look to George's leadership on this important committee to help define our expectations and sharpen our message on behalf of cities and towns."

Mayor Garwood has a lot on his plate now; though I do think he could do a great job on the committee, I just hope he can "sharpen his message" when it comes to things around here.
