A Couple of Blog Articles Which Might Be of Interest to WCF Readers

Update: The Ogden Sierra Club throws in its own 2¢ regarding the proposed Powder Mount Memorandum of Understanding

As the Utah print media winds down going into the Memorial Day Holiday, there's not much to sink our teeth this morning. However our friends at Ogden Valley Forum have been posting at a pretty good pace over the past couple of days, so we'll take advantage of the current lull in the red meat news to link to a couple of blog articles which might be of interest to WCF readers.

First, for those readers who are planning to attend next Tuesday evening's Weber County Commission meeting, wherein the proposed Powder Mountain Mountain Memorandum of Understanding will be a chief agenda item for public discussion, OVF has some new informational material available, including a link to a fairly robust Weber County Planning Division staff report, which blogmeister Valley aptly refers to as a "26 page masterpiece." Take a side tour over to Ogden Valley Forum to check it out:

And speaking of the Weber County Commission, those of you who are eagerly looking forward to the 2010 County Commission races might want to take a look at this second Larry and Sharon Zini article, which reports on commission candidate Amy Wicks's guest appearance at the Ogden Valley GEM Committee meeting at the Huntsville Town Hall on May 26:

• Amy Wicks meets the GEM Committee

As one OVF reader remarked in the OVF article comments section, "What a breath of fresh air. No Real Estate connections, no reference to business as usual. Amy may be the one we are looking for that cares about what happens in the Valley and is willing to stand up for the Valley residents." Needless to say, Ogden Valley citizens are pretty much fed up with real estate developers and their money-grubbing fellow travellers.

That's it for now. Address either of the above topics, or treat this as an open topic thread. We don't care what you say; but do say somethin.' It's been awfully quiet around here lately.

Update 5/29/10 7:20 a.m.: The Ogden Sierra Club throws in its own 2¢ regarding the proposed Powder Mount Memorandum of Understanding, with this letter to the Commission transmitted to us yesterday by regular WCF contributor Dan Schroeder:
