Goff Gets It!

Unsurprisingly, the front page of today's Standard-Examiner carried a story regarding this evening's historic city council vote. It was a small directory that had me worried. An indication about former Mayor Goff's opinion on the editorial page.
"They can't be running it again?" I thought to myself, wondering if Andy Howell was actually running Goff's Friday commentary again, just in case some uninformed community members who look up to Goff happened to have missed it the first go 'round. I was pleasantly surprised to read, not a commentary from Mr. Goff, but from Mayor Godfrey. In the first few paragraphs, Godfrey describes a phone call from Goff in which the former mayor changed his tune. Goff's reasoning- he received more (and I presume, more accurate) information regarding the rec center.
This is the message that we have been preaching right and left- most Ogdenites, when given the WHOLE picture, are in favor of the rec center and utilizing it as a method to revitalize downtown Ogden. The tendancy for many, if not all people, is to jump to conclusions when given just a small piece of the puzzle. Step back, look at the whole picture, and throw your support behind the rec center- ready or not, here it comes!!
Former mayor Goff gets it, do you?
