On all bonds it should require full disclosure and public be notified and aware of all issues and items in a bond. Salt Lake City and other cities are nororious for creating a needed bond and pork barrelling it to an over estimate and increse of needed funds. Then we need a state law that requires any bonds voted on be placed in a seperate account and not be inlcuded in the general funds of any city, county, or state government budget. Most agree that the law enforcement building needs replacing but it should not be a reason to blackmail and misinform voters of its intended use. It should be criminal for this kind of bonding and voting policies by elected officials. Blackmail and lies are not the way to get the publics confidence in their government leaders. This must be voted down as a scam and wilfully misleading bond.

192 million or 100 million? Everybody involved is still a money hungry public official. Go to the public library and do my public business in the quite room with a cardboard table and a folding chair.
I'll bet the work gets done faster and better.

Someone should ask the Mayor why his Police Chief and Fire Chief are asking their employees to stuff envelopes with mailers that favor the bond. What if the city employee and other city residents are against the bond? Isn't this a conflict of interest, SLC Policy or Ethics violation? I think it's outrageous that CITY employees on CITY time are stuffing 50,000 mailers that will be mailed out to city residents to support the Bond. Mr Mayor what city department will stuff mailers for the people that oppose this- what opportunity or voice are you going to offer them!

It seems to me that government is supposed to build buildings that represent the importance of the function. Otherwise, the beautiful old City & County (now just the City) building would never have been built. And for us old-timers... do you remember the police station that stood on 1st and State from the turn of the last century until 1960? I believe it is a smart use of money. The county can call foul all they want. It is our city and our vote. On the other hand, maybe we could just build functional steel buildings out in a field with a dirt road approach.

Do your homework (unlike the county) There is nothing hiden in the bond, Joe just chooses not to talk about the other aspects. The bond replaces 2 old firestations that are too small for ladder trucks. It also builds an emergency center to run the city during an emergency. And a training center that the firemen have never had. State law prevents bond money from being spent on anything else. Don't let Joe fool you, he is the one not telling the whole truth.

Bob do your homework (unlike the county) this bond pays for more than one building and nothing is hidden. It includes 2 old firestations, an emergency center for the city, and a training center for the firemen (which they don't have). State law does not allow the bond money to be spent on anything except what is specified on the ballot. It doesn't have things attached that are not needed, I want a fire station in Sugar House, Joe may not care, but some of us do.

If Prop. 1 passes, how long will the increase in property taxes remain in effect? Is there a provision in Prop. 1 to lower property taxes once the bond obligation is paid?

Does Pat Shea also represent the financial institution that will handsomely profit from underwriting the bond (which will cost taxpayers approximately three times the bond amount)?

The wording of the proposition sounds as if the yearly increase will compound over the life of the bond. It sounds like by the end of the bond each homeowner would be paying over $2,000, more than their current annual property tax. Personally, I am unable to absorb this kind of tax increase and therefor will cast a NO vote. If I have misunderstood then those who craft the language of propositions need to learn how to use the English language with accuracy and eliminate the confusing and misleading text.
