In the latest battle over who should lead West Jordan — a city manager or a strong mayor — those who support changing to the second option have almost twice as much funding, and most of the money has ties to current city leaders.
City Councilman Dave Newton has donated at least $5,000 to a political issues committee (PIC) supporting Prop. 10 on the November ballot. It will ask voters if the city should move to having a strong mayor who works with seven council members. If it fails, the city would continue to have a manager who works with the mayor and six other council members.
