Powder Mountain Update: A Plea for Citizen Action

A heads-up regarding ongoing behind-the-scenes political activity

Just to keep our readers informed of developments in the Powder Mountain situation, we'd like to inform interested readers of some behind-the-scenes activity which is currently being undertaken by the community activists in Ogden Valley. In the period between now and the next scheduled Weber County Commission meeting on August 19, 2008, at which time the commission will take up the the business of appointing a new mayor and council, Ogden Valley community activists are launching a public information campaign, soliciting letters and commentary to be directed toward the print media and County Commission, and preparing the groundwork for citizen contribution to a soon to be formed legal defense fund.

For details and contact information, navigate to today's latest article on Ogden Valley Forum.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of our Weber County neighbors to the east to prevail in their valient fight against the overbearing action of a greedy developer in Ogden Valley, now's the time to step up.

We'd like to add one additional call to action. If you, or someone you know is eligible to serve as mayor or council member for the soon to be appointed Powder Mountain Town government, now's the time to submit names and brief resumes to the Weber County Commission. The Commission will be compiling and vetting their own expanded candidate list; and as of our last conversation with Commissioner Dearden a day ago, the Commission had received only one single citizen application.
