Candidates for the Ward County Commission debated their differing approaches to county spending and infrastructure at a recent public forum, where concerns were raised about the proposed 2025 budget and the salaries of commissioners. Ashley Gulke, Miranda Schuler, and Jedidiah Rader emphasized the need to prioritize critical infrastructure without growing government, while Schuler specifically criticized commissioner pay as excessive. In Salt Lake County, Mayor Jenny Wilson and her Republican challenger Erin Rider clashed over a proposed $507 million public safety bond, with Rider arguing it would lead to higher taxes and Wilson defending it as a much-needed reform to the criminal justice system. The debate highlighted issues of deferred maintenance on county facilities and the complexities of the county budget, with Wilson asserting her experience as mayor since 2019. Both local elections are set for November 5, 2024, alongside the presidential election, with various candidates running for local offices in San Bernardino County as well.
