What They Spoke On

Sterling Beck

Sterling focused mostly on fixing mismanagement in Provo. He comes from an IT background so he had very strong criticisms for how iProvo has been handled. While he related a lot of things back to this he did touch on revitalizing downtown by encouraging business development there and protecting property rights.

He was well spoken and easy to follow.

Dean Cofer

Dean, as a landlord, focused heavily on defending property rights and not demonizing renters and landlords. He mentioned holding landlords to a higher standard to ensure that their properties were taken care of. He was strongly opposed to a large government presence in the community. He felt that city tax dollars shouldn't be spend on neighborhood renovation programs when the private citizens could probably do a better job.

Dean takes his time speaking but when gets done speaking you know where he stands.

Robert Oscanyan

Robert covered a gamut of issues. Like Sterling and Dean he is a strong advocate of property rights. He was the only candidate to come down firmly against amortization. He also spoke about community development to attract more businesses and jobs to Provo. In that vein, he spoke about his frustrations over the mismanagement of Provo downtown.

He was strong spoken and clear about all of his positions.

Cindy Richards

Cindy answered most questions by speaking about community development and referenced previous changes that she helped with in the Franklin and Tree Street neighborhood. On the question of property rights she went back to those neighborhoods as being examples of what the people wanted. She did mention her struggles as a home owner to renovate her home and get through the citiy's red tape.

Cindy was well spoken but quiet.
