If you build it, they will come… another way for the Park City School District to go broke
During today’s Local News Hour with Leslie Thatcher on KPCW, School Board President Moe Hickey brought up the need for an additional elementary school.

Is Park City’s Ski Industry Slowing Down?
We know what you are thinking. Vail is coming into Park City and that means ski growth is going through the roof. They don’t make stupid investments!

Will Woodward Park City Find a Home at the Gorgoza Sledding Park?

Park City Council Member Dick Peek Tells Us the Public Opinion Doesn’t Matter — And He is Correct
During today’s Local News Hour on KPCW, City Council Member Dick Peek was discussing the Kimball Arts Center with Leslie Thatcher. He said, “We develop codes and ordinances and expect everyone to abide by them. If the public comes out and says they are against something. We don’t weigh that as a general item. We apply the code.”
As harsh as that seems, he is right. What the public says doesn’t matter. It’s the “law” that matters.
