Willard

Box Elder/Willard Flood Control

Robert Axson, a representative from Senator Mike Lee’s office came to the Willard City Office Building to hold an information meeting on 12 December. Mr. Axson shared Senator Lee’s agenda on the Family Fairness and Opportunity Tax Reform Act, Higher Education Reform and Opportunity Act, Working Families Flexibility Act and the Transportation and Empowerment Act.  Each of these items is designed to help strengthen families and their opportunities in society with less government interference. 

It seems that education has become a can of worms and a sore spot for many in society today.  Common core is being questioned at every turn and many feel public education has become a state-run religion.  Every time you turn on the news you hear of parents who are frustrated with the education system because 6-year-old Johnny was sent home for chewing his sandwich into the shape of a gun and a 5-year-old girl was sexually harassed by a 6-year-old boy because he kissed her on the cheek.

The annexation of South Willard into the City of Willard will cost $1.4 million according to a financial analysis, conducted by Zion’s Bank Public Finance has found. This cost will cover the establishment of public works services, such as sewer and water lines, road construction and law enforcement services.

Once these essential services are established, it will cost an additional $825,000 per year to maintain these and other services to the newly annexed portion of the City.
