Comments about ‘Group shuns Granite township drive, wants to be in Sandy’

Mr. Nicholls needs to understand that you get what you pay for with fire protection. Just vote on the issue and if it fails look at your other options.

Although this group has singled out fire protection as an issue with figures that aren't common knowledge, but there is more at stake than that. A city costs more to run and adds many new ordinances and restrictive laws and taxes to the group.

Sandy is not a consumer or resident friendly city either, and that is a big deal to consider.

Mr. Nicholls and fellow residents complained about costs (mostly due to Sandy's charging County resident exorbitant water charges), quality of municipal services, and lack of control of speeding on Bell Canyon. Since the annexation, Sandy City delivered a temporary speed truck that worked for one day, broke down, and was removed. The Salt Lake County Council has been asked to approve the continuing provision of sanitary services to this street. We don't know if Sandy or the residents asked them for this and wonder if the residents or the City has become ambivalent about who can provide the best services. Next time residents in this situation might want to research, talk (to ALL the neighbors--many did not agree and were forced into Sandy), then decide what you're going to do.
