Why do you think that taxes should be raised to subsidize business and industry in small towns? The people in those small towns probably do not want to become industrialized and thats why they live in small towns. Your reason is for greed. I am sure that you would find many greedy businesses that would love to relocate to small towns if someone else would put up the cash. I am sorry for the deaths of the 9 workers who died in a dangerous and under regulated industry but compare that with the deaths that occure in Salt Lake City every day and you might come up short. If people want to live in the small towns, let them, its a free country.

Not sre why my comments earlier seem to have been censored, but Mr. Neale...Seriously, you appear to have no problem "subsidizing" billionaires, but a major problem "subsidizing" the working man. For the record...it's only a free country, if you are filthy rich. If you're amongst the working class, or sadly as most of us are now know, "The Working Poor" it is a very expensive country.

John Florez's comments were succint and dead bang right on. We spend millions if not billions of tax dollars to sudsidize Corporate America, yet little to support the working stiffs who keep this economy afloat.

If people want to live in small towns, they have that right. Yet, you seem all for millions to assist those who enjoy seeing a small ball kicked around for 2 to 3 hours????

Investing in rural Utah isn't wrong...Investing in the working people of Utah is a blessing, not a curse...Just ask King Benjamin...

The only State aid will be from the Department of
Social Services who will increase their allotment of foster care kids and move them out of the area, leaving the parents to comply with a unsympathic Judicial System designed for its self perpetuation.
