FLDS want new fiduciary

It seems that Wisan is acting for the benefit of the exflds rather than the FLDS that the trust is designed to serve.
To evict families for not paying fees for services and infrastructur ethat the city council and town residents don't want seems to defeat the purpose of local government and local control.
Wisan has become an economic dictator by establishing economic sanctions and administering those sanctions with ex-flds.
So I guess now the government bleeds the FLDS.....the new agenda to destroy a church.

Give them back control and leave them alone! Just leave them alone!!!

�We�ve seen the last default judgment and we're going to be fighting from now on.�

About time. This Wisan is a Trojan Horse, pushed into the FLDS community by a judge. He�s advised by some of the same rabid anti-FLDS folks who so disastrously advised Sheriff Doran. Trojan Horse Bruce Wisan, who loaned his investigator Sam Brower to that Trojan Horse in the YFZ ranch, Natalie Malonis. So who�s coordinating all this, who�s really behind it all? Quite a coincidence that the crazy lady who started it all is LDS, and the crazy Senator who aims to finish it is also LDS. Both of a religion that comprises less than two percent of the US population. What we have here looks like an internecine war between Mormons. And those First Baptists in Texas, maybe they were just patsies all along.

Way to go Stirba. You never do anything except by threats and attempts at intimidation. You are one of those attorneys that necessitated the Utah Supreme Court to create the Rules of Civility. It would appear that you have never read them or read them and decided they didn't apply to you. I hope Wisan can stand up to you and the Judge doesn't buy your arguments.

obviously you guys do not live in the twin cities as I do...you have no idea what it is like to be living in a theocracy. We are one of the ones who are not flds and we are the ones who get denied service from restaraunts and other such places. You try it sometime and see how much fun it is when it is YOU who is in the minority :P

It's time the FLDS started living and being held accountable to the same laws that everyone else is expected to follow.

A religious belief does not give you the right to pick and choose which laws you're going to obey.

You live in the homes, you pay..., or you get evicted.

Wise up and go to Texas if you can't afford to pay $100 a month in Utah.

It is hard to know what to make of this mess. From what I have read, Rod Parker and the FLDS parted ways at one point and this may be when the state took over this trust. Wise FLDS leadership would not have parted ways with Rod Parker, broken so many laws or stifled communication between the outside and the FLDS. If Rod Parker had been on board, none of this would have happened.

It appears that there was a time when the FLDS leaders illegally drained the trust. Now, the state would say that legal and management fees are being assessed for handling the trust. In other words, the trust is being legally drained.

The FLDS can challenge everything in court, but the problem is that this is only going to make things worse. Money will be given to the FLDS attorney. The trust attorneys will bill the trust which is also FLDS money. Economically, the FLDS are fighting themselves. The lawyers on both sides are left with the FLDS money.

This seems to all boil down to one simple fact, which is that no nation welcomes polygamous Christians.

Way to go Ben Winslow! And way to go Stirba! Get the land back to the rightful owners before Wisan puts more of the money into his own pockets.
