Tuesday's election is one in which voters choose representatives who directly affect on their lives - members of city councils and mayors - and resolve community issues.
The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board interviewed candidates in a number of mayoral and city council races in the Salt Lake Valley and researched both sides of a referendum in Sandy regarding zoning for a mixed-use development that includes a Wal-Mart and a Lowe's. After much discussion, we crafted endorsements of the candidates we would vote for and which way we came down on the Sandy zoning issue.
We've done our part. The full editorials are available at http://www.sltrib.com/utahpolitics.
Now it is up to you to decide.
