Dear Editor,
What’s wrong with this picture? Two Lawyers leasing an office in and doing work for a local bank in Brigham City. The same two lawyers working for and overseeing, as ‘city-attorneys’, the city’s legal needs two hundred yards away at the Brigham City office.
The same bank—seeking and holding the BONDS for the new projects, Hampton Inn, U.S.U. extension; and a huge new construction project, including bonding, for Utopia telecom fiber optics. That bankrupted Brigham City to the tune of $4.5 million and a payment of $439,000 a year for the next 20 years.
On Monday, March 31st, the two construction guys dug a trench connecting the main street from First East to First North and connected the bank to the 5” red/orange Utopia fiber optics cable. The workers both told me so. They also said that last summer they connected the same red/orange Utopia fiber optic conduit to all of the Zion Bank Branches in Logan and a series of credit unions as well.
When asked about it, the B.C. City Attorney told me “No, not Utopia, they just buried a security cable for the banks ‘special needs’.” Apparently, the bank’s needs are railroading a communist- style implementation on all, whether all, part, or none of the citizens want it or not! Big money vs. individual rights.
