True Story

"Every City Council has one fool on it."

This is what David Church said. Mr. Church is General Counsel for the Utah League of Cities and Towns. His job is to teach us rookie Councilmembers just enough about the law to keep our cities out of the courtrooms.

"You look at your City Councils," he said, "and you see that every Council has five members, and one of them's always a fool.

"Look real careful," he said. "If you can't tell which one is the fool, it's probably you."

I'm looking. Very, very carefully.
