City mayor pretends to be HOMELESS to check how OFFICIALS work! They told him everything was GOOD

There’s a children's tale about a king who pretended to be an ordinary peasant in order to check on his subjects. Unfortunately, the story took an unexpected turn, but that prompted the king to act in the most decisive way and make changes.

It’s just a fairy tale, but it defines our present-day reality. Today I will tell you a story that teaches us that problems should always be solved from within. Politicians shouldn’t act for the camera or recognition, but should rather aim at achieving result

Yes, what a great mayor. I do believe he's on track of being great at whatever he takes on. Utah lucky to have such a person

any other group. A lot of the ones that I knew when I lived in SLC were really nice. The Church was good about helping their own that needed help. But the individuals I knew would have helped anybody that needed help.

I didn't care much for the Church. But I liked the people.

Like that show on tv where owner of franchise pretends to be a new worker.

I hope his changes work.
