We got this email missive today from Legislative District 8 House Representative Gage Froerer, to our mind one of the most single-minded, astute, and constituent-serving legislators on the hill:
I was able to pass HB 201, Municipal Disincorporation ----out of the House today with a vote of 52-17 and it will now be transferred to the Senate for consideration. This bill modifies a provision relating to the disincorporation of a municipality. It would allow the residents of the impacted incorporation the ability to ask a judge for disincorporation without having to wait 2 years as currently is required by law. It would greatly benefit the residents of Powder Mountain by permitting them to ask the judge to hear a petition for disincorporation immediately following incorporation. This bill will have major impact for the citizens of Ogden Valley and the State that are impacted by the bill passed last year that allows town incorporations.Here is a link to Senate Roster containing Senate contact information:
I ask for your support and assistance with this bill. It will be heard on the Senate floor next week. Please email or otherwise contact Senators urging them to vote in favor of HB 201. Thank you for your help and efforts with this bill. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
I want to Thank everyone in Weber County Legislative District 8 who have given me their full support on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Representative Gage Froerer

• Senate roster contact linksWhether your're Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Libertarian, Full-Blown Commie or Anarchist, we assume everyone with any belief and/or respect for the concept of American liberty will support Froerer's bill, which would at least support the will of inhabitants of "Powderville, Utah," and allow them to decide for themselves whether they should be drawn into a bogus town... "drawn up" without their own vote, by a handful of their greedy and wealthy developer-landowner neighbors.
Please contact your Senate Representatives RIGHT NOW, and urge that they join in the passage of Rep. Froerer's HB 201.
Remember people... the political disenfranchisement that's happening right now in "Powderville," isn't something that's supposed to happen in America.
As we've said before, Froerer's bill would allow Utah legislators to clear their consciences somewhat, and to "make amends" for their gross and cowardly blunder last year, when the Utah legislature, in a most craven way, failed and refused to clean up the mess that they negligently created in the first place.
Write or otherwise contact your State Senators, people."Splain" to them that they have UNFINISHED BUSINESS, like restoring democratic representation to the currently disenfranchised people of "Powderville." Here's the Senate contact link again:

Remember that old battle-cry of the U.S. founders about "taxation without representation?"
That's what this is really all about here, innit?
