Who is on our watch from our state officials? Rocky Mountain Power marches into Tooele County and thinks they can do as they please with this docile group of people of Tooele (“Power company won’t budge on east bench route,” Sept. 29). We know that our mayor and city fathers, as well as our county commissioners, are against the power line routes proposed by RMP through our county. They have said “absolutely no” to the proposed routes. Four thousand citizens have signed petitions against the intrusion by this power company. We know that these lines will be put up somewhere in this valley, but we were told in the beginning by RMP that they would work with us to make other route suggestions. They now say we can’t make up our minds with no proposals made, which is an absolute lie. They dismissed a meeting stating this, but they are really saying, “You agree with what we say or we are through talking.” There is so much desert in this county that would not have the impact that going through our beautiful mountain ranges and over our neighborhoods would. Why must we watch the tearing up of our mountains, cities and neighborhoods for these monster towers and lines? This electricity is not for our benefit. It is going to the Salt Lake Valley. We need everyone to be on our watch. If we don’t work to save our county who will? Please stand up and be counted.
