Spencer wants to kick something. by Llyr2005-02-08 16:02:18

*fume*

SO BLOODY WHAT if everyone on the council belongs to a certain church? Look, this is a DEMOCRACY. A majority of the "diverse population" voted for each of these council members. Let me repeat: The diverse population FREELY ELECTED this not-so-diverse city council. DEAL.

There's a quote at the bottom of the article that sums up my feelings quite well:
Jergensen, whose district supported the mayor in 2003, said Anderson's desire to get rid of LDS council members is the "antithesis of tolerance."

"It seems hard for me to believe that in a city as diverse as Salt Lake City that an individual could serve or not serve or attempt to serve a district because they are or are not a specific religion," he said.
