Show OPEN LETTER TO THE MAYOR AM) THE CITY COUNCIL OF PAROWAN, UTAH. I am outraged by your high handed garbage deal. We the people had no voice in the decisions made. Many will be paying for a service they never or seldom use. You are resorting to force. A large percentage are already paying $3.00 monthly sewer charge even though they are not connected with the sewer. It is unconstitutional, un-American, un-American, and discriminortory. The city has purchased an expensive ex-pensive new garbage truck, fenced publicly owned ground so, "we the people, cannot enter. All without the consent of, we the people. The $2.65 monthly charge is an injustice to the low and fixed income folks who have already found it hard to make ends meet. With prices soaring each day, the project is ill advised at this time. Are you striving to identify little old Hunkey Dunk Parowan with Beverly Hills or Palm Springs, Claif.? They can always afford new charges, we cannot, they have Frank Sinatra and Jack Benny. In view of the purchase price of the garbage truck and etc., it would be fitting and proper for the garbage collector to wear top hat, tails, and white gloves while on duty. Parowan has the most unsightly un-sightly streets and side walks in southern Utah, weeds, ruts, and rocks in summer time, and in winter piled with snow in the wrong places. We shovel snow from driveway to street only to have the snow plow come along and push it back. As I was going to town one day I came upon a man jumping up and down. I asked if he had taken too many vitamins? In between cuss words he explained that he had shoveled the snow from his driveway and the snow plow had you guessed it filled it up again. Just organized confusion. I heard the mayor boasting on KSUB last fall of a sidewalk snow plow just purchased, mayby trying to impress or assure the Cedar-ites that we are worthy of the County Seat. That snow plow has never been used in our neighborhood, neigh-borhood, but not from the lack of snow, Heaven knows. The city cannot abide a level street, if thev see one they cannot wait to alter it, usually DOWN which makes a nice juicy mud hole for us to get stuck in, which happened in my case. My late husband and I lived in many places in Southern California, Nevada, and Utah. We found that utilities were higher in Parowan and St. George than any place we ever lived. . , In writing this letter, I have tread on some sore corns and I do not expect to be loved for it-well, it-well, so be it. I tell it the way I see M. Para more Parowan, Utah |
