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…
Enough! Ephraim blight should not be tolerated Ephraim City Council members, the city staff, and hopefully, a few people in other towns in Sanpete County, are starting to utter the “B” word. That’s “B” for blight. Until you admit you have it, you can’t do anything about it. Ephraim and Sanpete County are 100…
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…
Proposition 7 on Mt. Pleasant ballot has merit A swimming pool is a great community resource, but it doesn’t pay for itself. Leaders and citizens in Mt. Pleasant’s leadership have been working for 20 years to bring a swimming pool to their community. It’s finally going to happen. But now the community has come…
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…
Glad Obama’s time is over, wants Trump to win You’ll never convince me that prayer doesn’t work. It’s been a long eight years, but we’re finally getting rid of the black Muslim Kenyan socialist who calls himself the President of the United States. All it took was the 22nd amendment to the Constitution. The predictions…
Denounce Trump as a brute It brings tears to my eyes to see so many brave Hollywood celebrities boldly coming forth in righteous indignation against a presidential candidate who stands virtually alone in using vulgar language about women. And these worthy people have every right to do so because the whole world…
Please vote! Are you a voter who would desire a choice besides the two top party candidates in the November 8, Presidential Election but feel your vote would be wasted elsewhere? There is a choice. The game plan is simple. For a candidate to win the election, they must receive 270 electoral votes. There…
Believes Evan McMullin is conservative and qualified I love living in a conservative state where the majority of citizens seem to fit the dictionary definition of the word conservative: “Believing in the value of established and traditional practices in politics and society.” Of course, we do allow for proper adjustments that still further…
