EMAIL TO: Mayor Gary Gygi, CH City Attorney David Shaw, City Manager David Bunker, Councilmembers Rob Crawley, Ben Bailey, Jenney Rees, Mike Geddes, Daniel Zappala, City Recorder Colleen Mulvey, Ken Cromar, Jerry Dearinger, Paul Sorensen, Russ & Linda Fotheringham, Ken Severn, Curtis Macpherson
Hi Gary/Mr. Shaw/All,
Wow, did any one read my emails? It has been over a month with no response. At least Gary should have responded!
The checks and balances in our current form of Cedar Hills government have failed us. You have not attempted to redress our long list of grievances, nor clear Mr. Cromar and like-minded Cedar Hills Citizens for Responsible Government’s (CHCRG) good names and reputations. Gary in particular has abused and discredited the office of mayor, making himself unworthy of the title.
Since Gary has failed to publicly address our numerous grievances and retract his attack on Mr. Cromar and CHCRG we publicly call for Mayor Gygi's immediate resignation.
We agree with the city attorney Mr. Shaw that there is a difference between free speech and attacks that cross the line limited by laws surrounding defamation, libel, and slander.
We further believe this right applies to all Americans and that government should never be allowed a platform for public officials to abuse the citizens it is supposed to serve. Protection of first amendment rights and respect for Utah open public records laws is a must to restore trust between citizens and elected officials who serve them. We declare that silence by city officials on this critical matter has become an unintentional endorsement of Gary’s tyrannical behavior that must be addressed.
We intend to use our rights in the form of nationally syndicated talk radio shows, YouTube and web articles to expose Cedar Hills government's corruption and personal attacks articulated above.
Since Gary has abused and discredited the office of mayor, we reiterate our call for Mayor Gygi's immediate resignation!
Transparency, due process, and the rule of law are of the utmost importance for the proper role of government.
Sam Bushman/Curt Crosby
