Powder Mountain Update: A Boycott; and a State Capitol "Show of Force"

Ogden Valley citizens continue to turn up the political heat

More frenzied activity over on Ogden Valley Forum this morning, with several new posts dealing with the Powder Mountain Town Incorporation Landgrab:

First, the Ogden Valley lumpencitizens are talking Powder Mountain boycott, (discount Snowbasin tickets anyone?), and a show of force tomorrow in the Utah Legislature, as the two remedial bills move onto the agenda for House of Representatives floor debate. Read all about it here.

Secondly, the OVF blogmeister also offers special thanks to those who signed the petition; and we at Weber County Forum join him in that. The petition has by now garnered over 500 signatures (518 to be exact), many from Weber County Forum readers in western Weber County and other places outside Ogden Valley. From our own viewpoint, the response of our Weber County Forum readership has been heartwarming, to say the least.

And don't miss this morning's Marshall Thompson story, reporting on the procedural "wrench" which Wolf Creek Resort has thrown into the developer's town incorporation process "gear-box." Whether this latest maneuver, which would remove about 900 acres of properties from the proposed Powderville town boundaries, will disqualify the Powders Mountain Developers' petition because of shortfalls in proportionate acreage, value or absolute population (a valid petition requires 100 residents at minimum) remains anyone's guess, but it almost certainly buys more time for the folks of Ogden Valley, as they now turn their efforts to lobbying the legislature.

We offer this morning a hearty Weber County Forum Tip O' the Hat to everyone who is involved so far in this grand grass-roots effort.

Don't let the cat get your tongues.
