Another top aide to Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson is leaving, bringing the total number of departures from his immediate staff since he took office to four.
Frances Gomez, the mayor's assistant for community affairs, will leave the administration at an unspecified time. Like policy adviser Dave Owen and senior assistant Mike Melendez, whose departures became public Monday, Gomez declined to comment on the specific reasons for the departure.Media relations director Phil Riesen was fired last month.
The departures have some observers wondering if Anderson is too hard to work with, while others simply conclude that Anderson's demanding style is not for everyone.
