Although highly speculative, these are plausible causes. What's clear though, is that spelling in our dear city has somehow gone to the dogs (many of us knew that!) and if four years ago Dana could still spell, he clearly can't anymore. No problem; re-alphabetization of Park City could be a noble issue to add to “Willams'” electoral platform and, if re-elected, he might also rid us of the existing misspelled signs that abound around town!

Park City can't spell (Part II)
Now, the plot thickens; last night as we were strolling the neighborhood, we couldn't help but notice these blue signs that said “Our Mayor Dana Willams.” I know a certain Williams running for mayor, but a “Willams,” not really. At first, I thought the work was that of an impostor desiring to grab the spotlight and perhaps even steal the election. Then, I became paranoid and imagined that our current mayor had been "texting" the copy of his sign while driving or perhaps while... in the bathroom.

Another reason not to vote for Dana, if he can not manage a simple task, or the people he has made responsible for the task, how can he direct the city?
This may also be a reason to worry about PC High School (if it the sign was created by one of their grads). I just encountered a recent PCHS grad whose emails are loaded with mis-spellings and simply incorrect usage of words. We are not talking one or two typos, but an entire email that is semi-literate.
