(UTOPIA) Tax Alert : Stop 150% tax pledge increase

[Kyle Waters]

    The thing that bothers me most is that UTOPIA is a city by city 
project.  So far the cities have not had to pay any money for 
UTOPIA(except some they were forced to put in an account due to lobbying 
from the Utah Tax Payers Association).  If UTOPIA does run into problems 
the pledging cities are the ones that have to pay.  Not UTAH!!! So it 
upsets me that these guys then go to the state to try and stop cities 
from choosing weather it is worth the risk.  I bought a house in Murray 
just so I would have UTOPIA.  I chose to take the risk of paying taxes 
for it(and perfectly willing to do so), I want the state to stay out of 
my cities business.
    Just so you all know I heard the vice-president of the Utah Tax 
Payers Association say that you can get similar speed and services from 
Qwest for a competive price.
