Scott Phillips owns a construction business and is a City Councilman for Payson, Utah. He is running to be re-elected to a seat on the City Council of Payson in the November 2017 Election, Payson, Utah County, Utah.

Scott is concerned with road repair and other public works. As a city councilman, he has worked closely with the crews that do the work, and pressed for changes to make it easier and more economical for the city to meet these demands. He has a deep practical knowledge of how the city runs, but does not show much concern with the potential harms of government.

Scott was charged with assault stemming from an incident in 2008 in which he claims to have confronted to young men tagging his truck. The incident occurred in Payson, but was investigated by Salem. He ended up pleading no contest and the young men were charged with tagging after witnesses were found who could attest to the fact. (The tagging was said to have been done with some kind of tape and Scott claimed to have made them clean it up before they called the police.) The details of the incident are a bit fuzzy.[1] When asked if he had an issue with how he was treated by the police and the courts after this incident, Scott responded, "No, I pleaded no contest. I know what I did. My issue was - how did I put that? I was gonna fight it, but they finally charged the kids and I was happy. It was pretty much dropped after that."

Scott Phillips sat down with us for an interview on 27/Oct/2017.
