1. New Wasatch School District GRAMA requests! – We GRAMA requested some local school construction info that was referenced recently in a statewide legislative audit, showing most school districts didn’t follow code. Also, requested school district admin contracts, and were astonished as to what we received. Over $3 mil in district level contracts with no more than a 2 page agreement. We have them here for you to see for yourselves. Go here to learn more!
2. Wasatch County Property Tax Alert! We have been fighting for you and your taxes for the past 6 years with the County Assessor, County Council, our State Legislature, and the State Tax Commission. The Legislative Auditor’s Office released their Property Tax Audit to the Audit Committee on April 17, 2024! It shows the many inconsistencies that we originally reported in the county assessor offices around the state, and a lack of oversight by the The Utah Tax Commission who failed for years to ensure a fair and equitable tax system in our County alone! Click here to see the audit, and the latest 2025 tax info!
3. UDOT asked Wasatch County and the municipalities to hold off an any new annexations, development approvals or conservation easements until they determine their “preferred route” not until the FALL of 2025. How long does the county citizens have to wait to get UDOT to finish their process? Go here for more info.
