I agree with Don Rogers’ characterization in the Aug. 20 edition of The Park Record of the situation in Park City: “The deputy city managers are brand new following the departures of their predecessors, the city manager is leaving, the mayor is quitting city politics altogether. Main Street is sinking, Bonanza Park languishing, Snow Park’s progress delayed, Sundance and the Kimball Art Center gone, and the 2034 Games already loom uncomfortably.”
Given this, how could any rational person advocate to perpetuate the feckless leadership of Park City by voting to promote Councilman Dickey to become the mayor of Park City? Jack Rubin is the only effective solution. The voters of Park City owe it to themselves to get to know Jack Rubin, enthusiastically support him and turn out to deliver Jack Rubin the votes to elect him Park City’s new mayor.
The leadership change Park City so desperately needs requires the election of a strong, consensus-building mayor who can synthesize the view/concerns of Parkites into an articulate, widely held shared vision for Park City; who can reverse Park City’s recent slide by guiding the City Council into making the long-deferred decisions that need to be made; and who can take a leadership role in working with the officials of Summit County, Wasatch County and MIDA to optimize regional cooperation in such crucial areas as transportation, housing, education, open space and even marketing.
Only Jack can and will make this happen. Know him. Support him. Then actually vote for Jack Rubin for mayor.
The election of Park City’s next mayor is not a spectator sport,
