The first thing they should do is to sort out the actual facts behind the problem if there is one The second thing they can do is to contact their county representative to express their concerns They then can follow up with contacting their State Senator It might be helpful for more people to become concerned and involved with the City Council Meetings I find it very interesting that people are always so willing to blame others so easily Do they take the time to get all of the facts? Do they take the time to consider who they are faulting and why? Do they even consider the reason behind their accusations? Of course not! It is so much easier to listen to others and let them make our decisions for us! I am in total agreement that our judidal system has definite faults but I do not agree with their the Millard accusations regarding office I feel County Attorney’s already begun It was President Chase Peterson of the University of Utah who organised one of this past session’s largest and most effective lobbying efforts for the purpose of raising our taxes Under Mr Peterson’s direction the staff and faculty of that institution all of whom are public employees paid with our tax dollars were used in that lobbying effort It must be terrible having to put up with the taxpaying dtisens who are trying to get their leaders to All this listen to their problems business about petitions and signatures is hard to control And what would happen if the voters of the state actually did have a say in how much taxes they pay?
