And the expected new mayor is not just a woman, she's a Jessop...

No.

"People who have left the church, like Jessop..."

"Jessop and two City Council candidates seeking four-year terms, Maha Layton and Jared Nicol, were nominated in the spring at an unofficial convention that featured only non-FLDS candidates."

It doesn't look like it - read the article, there's no paywall ;-)

I think the article's quite good, except that it didn't say whether she was "vanilla" LDS or not...

It sounds like the Jessops still have a stranglehold on Hildale.

Only the faces have changed.

If you believe that the FLDS did not vote as instructed then let me tell you about some gold plates, a brass ball and some angels that visited a 14 year old kid.

If the change happens, it will be a miracle.
