The city mandates these | 7:04 a.m. July 8, 2009
devices, which I'm sure will save lives, but no mention is made who pays
for them. When private businesses are required to provide these sorts things we
all end up paying for them. There is always a good cause that some people think
soemone else should be forced to pay for.

Come on reporter, put the rest of the story together. HOW MANY FACILITIES IN
SOUTH JORDAN ARE NOW REQUIRED TO HAVE THESE DEVICES? What is the total dollar
cost to equip these facilities, and what is the estimate for number of lives
saved if all such facilities are compliant? I haven't heard of a fatal
heart attack in a church in South Jordan in years! This is government deciding
that any good idea ought to be mandatory. By that reasoning, we should reduce
all speed limits to 55mph, because that would be safer. But wait! 25mph would
be safer yet! We'd save lives! Oh, but removing engines from all cars
would still be safer! We should do that!

Did you know that more people die each year from Cardiac Arrest that those
killed in traffic Crashes? More than 1000 people every day! And I am sure you
sit in the barber shop and hear "everything" that happens in all
churces and Schools! Did you know there is a BMX race in South Jordan this
weekend?
