Sandy

A real race

Tom Dolan

Gary T. Forbush

David Wilde

Main event

OK, so Mayor Rocky Anderson isn't on the ballot. But four council seats are, and today's outcome will help shape the next two years in his second term - and beyond - as Utah's capital prepares for a major Main Street makeover.

Sandy

Sandy voters will decide whether big-box stores - Wal-Mart and Lowe's Home Improvement - can locate in a former gravel pit. The fate of this referendum also could swing the mayor's race. The mayor supports the planned development. His challenger opposes it.
