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.”

Film Studio Timeline
In case you were wondering what Park City Film Studios means when they say the project is “anticipated to remain on schedule,” we were doing research on the Film Studio and came across a “phasing timeline” which states when various elements of the Park City Film Studio are supposed to be done.
Interesting… As Game of Thrones often says, winter is coming.

Why the Game Lemonade Stand Still Makes Me Wonder Who Will Get Screwed on Vail Sales Tax Revenues
Remember the old computer game Lemonade Stand? Nostalgia. Now, let’s use that to demonstrate why there still isn’t a good explanation of how Epic Pass taxes will be divvied up between Summit County and Park City. In Lemonade Stand, you make choices about prices and marketing to achieve success in the sugar-water business. Let’s complicate …
