We listened to School Superintendent Dr Ember Conley’s interview on KPCW and she was being questioned about the $5.7 million professional studies building they are going to vote for again tomorrow.

The Ice Arena Portion of the Basin Rec Bond May Be Reason Enough to Vote Down the Entire Thing
Note: We are writing a series of articles on the Basin Rec Bond. We feel that that the “Pro-Bond” side is getting a lot of press and wanted to provide alternate points of view. As part of Basin Rec’s $25 million bond, they will be using $2.5 million for construction of a second sheet of …
Crews working Saturday on Film Studio Construction
A quick not eon the Film Studio. We saw crews working on the Film Studio on Saturday. Dump trucks-galore were headed in and out with a front-end loader working behind the facility.

Summit County Needs to Stop Using Old and Non-Scientific Surveys as Basis for Future

Since then, those results are periodically trotted out during meetings and in documents like our General Plan to show what the community’s “vision” is. …

Question of the Day: Will Ebola Impact Park City Tourism?

The CDC has requested an interview with 132 passengers who flew on a flight with a nurse (that hasn’t tested positive) but who …

Thoughts on Chris Robinson’s Appearance on KPCW
Last week we were pretty negative on Summit County Council candidate Craig Williams’ appearance on KPCW. We didn’t (and still don’t) agree with his stances on how he would improve relations with the east-side of Summit County, County finances, and the General Plan.
