I know all about it. I've been to the last several meetings with the commissioners and their newly-formed advisory committee. They're touring 6 proposed sites again on Feb. 16. They want to develop "lakeside property" into resort property.
IT STINKS! The Daggett County Commissioners STINK! One is very dirty and has a conflict of interest. This latest proposal has been kept "hush hush" until some of us made it more known in the last couple of county newsletters. Everyone was pretty shocked to hear of hidden pay raises and proposed development going on pretty quietly behind closed doors.
It has a long ways to go, including a swap of land between SITLA and the Forest Service, which includes attaching that to some legislation in congress. The plans are drawn for Linwood, but that's may or may not be a final proposed site. The Forest Service would swap land with SITLA, SITLA would then sell to private developers, and the crap would begin.
Lots of issues, but the commission is running with it. The same county commission that just voted itself a 100 PERCENT PAY RAISE just two months ago! They claim the county will go bankrupt without "economic development" such as this for more tax dollars. "It's all about the tax money," one commissioner said at Monday's meeting. County residents are mostly opposed to this kind of development. About 80/20 against based on a petition signed last week by 150 residents in Manila.
One issue is that the county has been receiving a $300,000 federal grant for Dutch John privatization/development, and the last payment will be in January 2013. So, they're saying they'll be "Short" $300,000 after that.
Same old story. Government needs to cut their wasteful spending. Daggett County is no different. I have the budget on my desk, right in front of me, as I type this. It needs to be cut to peices!
