I was hoping to post the financial disclosures of each mayoral candidate so you could see who is donating to their campaigns. However, South Ogden City ordinance doesn't require they submit one. They only submit financial disclosures for the following reasons:
1. If you lose the primary, you submit 30 days after (why submit if you lost???)
2. If you are in a general election, then you submit 7 days before the election, but not before a primary. (So just trust they do everything right, until the general election)
This is a little silly, since this limits the amount of info we could use for voting in the primary.
Maybe the new mayor can work on more full disclosure and accountability.

While I agree with you BenJoe about the need for disclosure, the city is following Utah Code Ann. sec. 10-3-208 that dictates when financial disclosures in municipal elections must take place. I'm happy to show you mine and have frankly been curious about the others.
Just thought you may want to know.
Thank Rick for the update.
I would happy to see yours if you have them handy. I am always curious as to who supporting the candidates.
Thanks.
Good Luck tomorrow
I'll show you mine. Interestingly enough most of my support didn't come within South Ogden City. In fact, I don't think any of my financial support came within the city. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. The one thing it does tell you is that I'm not beholden to anyone in the city as far as money goes. I like that, even though it would be nice to have some more support that way to do a few things I would like to do.
