Is it really necessary to add a permanent tax to fund a short term project? What are they using their stimulus funds for? This kind of project is what the Obama plan of stimulus funding is meant to fund. Taxes in any form for any reason is regressive and in a recession is not the time to add more taxes. This project should wait for better times and after the economy shows some improvement. Who knows, this so called tax base of industrial shops may not be around long enough to pay for the project and then the citizens are stuck with a long term tax and still not have a park.

City leaders pushed through a $20 million dollar bond issue a few yars back to pay for the rebuild of the Bountiful Rec Center clear over on th ecenterville border and now they decide to tax us again to build a park that the city needs?

Shame on you so called leaders!! When residents years ago wanted the bond money to build local parks and Rec centers you told us citizens it was a good idea to pay for Bountifuls rec center and now you come back and tax us again?? for a local park. You should have built local in the first place, Let BOUNTIFUL PAY FOR THEIR OWN REC CENTER and saved the NSL residene $20 million that you watsed.


Shameful, pure shameful, I hope the residents wake up and final vote in some real leadership.

I currently live in the Foxboro Community in North S.L. and raising the sales tax even .1% to add a park to Foxboro North, where development has died and the developer has filed bankruptcy (Woodside Homes) is a joke. We have a park in Foxboro, we have a nature trail & loop as well as the legacy trail in our community.. All of them are under utilized, why do we need to add another park?

The Foxboro park is a ruse so that the wealthy elite on the east side hill can get a park to ad to their Golf Course at the expense of the poor tax payers.

How much does that Golf Course cost us tax payers of North Salt Lake anyway??? The majority of us get no value out of it either??

I think it is time for the leadership of North Salt Lake to be elected from the west side of HWY 89. and let the wealthy pay their fair share for a change.
