For those closely following the ongoing Powder Mountain brouhaha, and as a followup to our WCF article of 1/29/10, we're semi-pleased to offer a pre-recorded audio link to this morning's 8:30 a.m. House Government Operations Committee hearing, wherein Rep. Gage Froerer's H.B. 218 (Municipal Disincorporation Revisions) had been the third item on the committee's agenda:
• realPlayer AudioListen Up , Folks! Listen to the part where HB 218's own sponsor takes his own bill off today's committee calender!
• MP3 Audio
Update 2/1/10 8:48 a.m.: According to the audio, Rep. Froerer has requested that agenda item #3 be moved back on the calender. Unfortunately, It's now unclear whether he's taken the matter entirely off-calender for re-scheduling on another date, or simply moved it to the back of today's calender.
Update 2/1/10 11:00 a.m.: Having listened to the full audio podcast, we'll confirm that Rep. Froerer's H.B. 218 matter has been removed from today's committee calender on sponsor Gage Forerer's own motion, without an even on-the-record rescheduling to a later date. We'll update this article as soon as possible, once we've had an opportunity to speak with Rep. Froerer for an explanation of his reasoning and rationale concerning this.
We're also pleased to note that our friends at Ogden Valley Forum have now sounded off on this subject, with their own call to action, directed toward their own OVF reasdership.
