Appreciate efforts to preserve pioneer age houses After many years of no dramatic improvement to Main Street, I want to express my appreciation for the efforts made by our city and Cache Valley Bank to beautify the central part of it and efforts by other businesses elsewhere on Main Street. I think it’s a…
Our communities are good! I just can’t help it! Sometimes I almost feel overwhelmed by all the goodness I am surrounded by in Sanpete. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have my head in the sand concerning the “un-goodness” that’s here; I know it is, but what’s right about our communities far outweighs…
Sanpete Pantry thanks Norbest and others We are writing to express our appreciation for the recent donation to the Sanpete Pantry by Norbest of Moroni. The generous folks at Norbest have supported the Pantry for years, making possible our ability to continue our mission of providing supplemental foodstuffs to those in need. Norbest has…
Thanks Dean for opinion on Trump In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to express my gratitude for Suzanne Dean’s integrity in expressing a relatively unpopular opinion in her “Publisher’s Perspective” piece condemning Trump. Thank you for your commitment to the truth. Susan Murdoch, Manti
Wants low-income housing in Sanpete Talk about compassion. The City of Ephraim is kicking people out of the local trailer park during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. And, if they do not move out soon enough, the city will cut off their lights and heat during the coldest time of year. Where will these…
Spring City sidewalk project should be dropped I noted the article in the Sanpete Messenger Nov. 10, 2016, “Not enough support for Spring City sidewalk safety project” and would like residents of Spring City to consider some issues. While it is laudable for a community to try to engage in a project, in…
Thanks Commissioners for holding off tax increase increase until now Sanpete County Commissioners deserve thanks for their dedication to Sanpete and for their efforts to hold off a tax increase until now. While they were “tightening their collective belts” these past 10 or more years, we as citizens were able to use money privately…
Can we be spared political blathering now? Please, can we now be spared our political elites continuing their blathering about “Utah Values,” which seems to imply that people in Utah have moral superiority over people who inhabit other states. When these leaders and the majority of the voters of our “great state” support a…
Still have questions on proposed tax increase Still have questions on proposed tax increase I attended the public hearing with the county commissioners last Thursday. A lot of topics were covered, but a few thoughts and questions still come to mind. Why were so many people opposed to the 60 percent tax increase, but would…
Objects to publisher’s media bias This is indeed a “Letter to the Editor”, a personal letter to Suzanne Dean. The majority of Americans believe that the Media is biased, and it seems that CNN, aka The Clinton News Network, as well as the New York Times and LA Times are, and have lost all…
County should not increase taxes The Sanpete County Commissioners have proposed a large property tax increase. I do not think that is such a good idea, as they recently lost almost $40,000 in a recent scam. They say most of the money has been recovered, but they want to increase taxes to spend more—on…
Chaffetz flip-flops on reputation of Trump Well, so much for Utah values. After the Washington Post revealed Trump’s 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape with Billy Bush, Utah Politicians like Gov. Gary Herbert (who was the first elected Utah official to pull his endorsement from Donald Trump), Sen. Mike Lee, Reps. Jason Chaffetz, Chris Stewart and Mia Love, and former Gov. Jon Huntsman all…
All Republicans should support Trump and bring down the ‘establishment’ In the meridian of time a certain tent maker and student of the law, Saul of Tarsus, became an enemy of Christianity. He had the new Christians arrested, tried, and jailed. He also consented, by holding the garments of those who murdered Stephen by…
County should cut expenses, not raise taxes As a business owner in rural Utah, there isn’t anything more difficult than having to “cut back” or lay off employees. However, when business conditions change and revenues fall, difficult decisions are required by management. It hurts, but if you don’t take care of the health of…
It was a good ride, America Some weeks from now we may be saying–“It was a good ride, America.” “Hillary and partner globalists/ media, with the goal to dismantle the country and transfer its greatness to global governance, pulled it off. Trump didn’t need this—could have played the corporate game, but instead put his…
