A Weber County official is about to become one of the first known sitting mayors in state history to deploy for wartime service. North Ogden Mayor Brent Taylor, who also serves as an officer in the Utah Army National Guard, announced Monday he will be deploying to Afghanistan later this month for an anticipated 12-month tour of duty. Taylor previously served two tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. He served the tour in Afghanistan while a member of the North Ogden City Council and took a military leave of absence on that occasion as well, he said. Taylor talks to KSL NewsRadio's Doug Wright about his leave and what will happen to his city and family while he is away.
