Glad to be part of the township. I don't want to be part of Taylorsville, West Valley or West Jordan. I enjoy the services I have. Cities...please stay away! Legislators, please continue the township law.

This is good news for the cities. Most of the township areas have deteriorating infrastructure which would cost cities millions to repair and upgrade. Now all that is on the County. Expect the Legislature to make sure the County doesn't bill the cities for those costs. The County recently promised to spend $200k on new sidewalks in White City. Turns out it is for sidewalks on 1300 East. Not exactly what residents were hoping for.

Sandy must love its nearby townships (White City & Granite). With no retail base to speak of, those residents shop largely in Sandy, leaving their tax dollars behind. Their community council leaders can boast about how they are not part of Sandy, then wonder why they can't get sidewalks and street lights.

Leave the townships in the County. When their property taxes start to go up, buyers remorse may set in. By then, it will be too late to do anything about it.

Now if we can just get the Sheriff to work on the crime situation in the townships instead of offloading it on the surrounding cities.

As a Sandy resident I totally agree with Good News.
