Gil Almquist St. George UT Corrupt Politician Abuse of Power Politically Corrupt Abuse of Power to Avoid Laws He Enforces on Citizens St. George Utah

Gil Almquist is the epitome of political corruption and abuse of power, using St. George City zoning codes to punish citizens while violating these same zoning codes with his personal landscaping business.  In the St. George News article On Kilter: Incestuous Nepotism is Hard to Swallow, the question is raised: "Does there exist a network of individuals who hold power in this city through business, social or religious relationships who manipulate code and the justice system to benefit one's personal and business bottom lines?"

Such is the case with the corrupt St. George City Counilman, Gil Almquist, who, as the article references: "If in fact there are individuals who engage in or collude to engage in self-serving behavior at the expense of citizens-- one would only need look at the recent scenario where City Councilman Gil Almquist flagrantly violated the very city codes he and the city enforced upon its citizens, ruthlessly and expensively--then they must be exposed and dealt with harshly."

And now we hear that this same Gil Almquist--who used St. George city codes to protect his landscaping business while punishing other citizens for the very same violations--is now running for a seat on the Washington County Commission.  But this is an election cycle where the corruption of John Swallow colluding with Harry Reid is being exposed and prosecuted.  For this same reason, Gil Almquist needs to be exposed for the self-serving, corrupt person he is.  Washington County has taken two positive steps in the right direction electing Zachary Renstrom and Victor Iverson to Commision seats, and do not need to take a huge step backwards by electing such a dishonest and corrupt Almquist who needs to stay retired from public service, if not investigated for his corruption while on the St. George City Council.

"If the relentless investigation into Swallow is telling, it indicates that the people's attention to what their political leaders are doing is not going to go away."
