In commenting on how one’s writing reveals a person’s essence, an 18th-century French scientist famously remarked, “The style is the man himself.”
I was reminded of that sentiment when comparing the recent Tribune commentaries by Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and challenger Ross “Rocky” Anderson.. More importantly, he uses plural pronouns — those that suggest a worldview that sees value in collaboration with others — a mere six times to Mendenhall’s 32.
It is hard not to agree with Mayor Mendenhall’s assertion that our wonderful city has benefitted from “partnership over partisanship.” Not so long ago, we spent four years under the leadership of a national politician who was fond of asserting “I alone can solve this problem,” and we saw how that worked out.
