Maybe it's time to change the way the legislature is run. Most people work more than 250 days per year. Is that why government wastes so much money on so many useless things. Let's cut the budget, change the tax code to cost Utahn's less of their hard earned money, and SPEND less, or WASTE LESS.
If you need an example, Harrison Blvd in South Ogden, the intersection with H/way 89 was messed up a couple of years ago with the changes made. As the finishing touches were being done for beautifying UDOT had already made plans to change things again. The beautification that was being done would be ripped out within the next few months. But it was still done!! What a waste!! The revisions that were made, and are still being completed, have made things far worse than they were before. This has resulted in more crashes, near misses, people honking horns far more, and an overall bigger mess! Having spoken to numerous sides in this project, UDOT thinks it is good, City of South Ogden thinks it is bad, business owners think it is terrible, and local homeowners think it is awful!!!
Government is supposed to help, not force their ridiculous plans on the people that pay their wages!
Homeless shelters are another example of waste. There is certainly a need for shelters, however, when government decides to build a multi-million dollar, state of the art, building to house the homeless population, and put it next to businesses that are then broken into, damaged, and defecated in, that is causing more problems to the TAX PAYING population!! That same Multi-million dollar building has been damaged immensely by the homeless population that it was built to house!! Not all homeless people cause damage, but there are enough of the bad, to cause much damage and create much loss to a community. The old building that used to house the homeless, it basically needs to be demolished!! Why does the government, state, federal, or local, feel the need to WASTE taxpayers money on such extravagant buil
