The Blue Ridge Contract is approved!!

Monday the SRP Board approved the contract and the Payson Town Council approved it.

Thanks to our Water Department, Senator Kyl, SRP and our negotiating team for a great job.

This truly is a historic day for Payson.

And a special thanks to Mayor Bob!

Oh, I see, he just happened to be at the right place, at the right time? You think he had no part in this? You think he didn't work on this?

Steve, the information I posted was from an e-mail bob Edwards sent out this morning. Word for word. My special thanks to Mayor Bob was added.

If you refuse to believe he did any good for our community, there is no point in even trying to talk to you. I think it's sad you don't believe he's done a lot of good for our community. Very sad.

The town is hurting just like all over the country.
Illegals taking jobs.
People buying overpriced houses with adjustable rate mortgages.
High gas prices.
People going into a business they know nothing about.
High rent prices.
THIS IS NOT EDWARD'S FAULT.

This is an interesting tidbit in an article about the Blue Ridge meeting and how the votes went:

"The only dissenter in a largely celebratory meeting was Councilor Andy Romance, who cast the sole vote against the agreement on the grounds that the restrictions on acquiring any future source of water would lock Payson permanently into the current General Plan emphasis on remaining a residential community without any water-intensive businesses. Moreover, he argued that the requirement that the town share in any legal costs necessary to defend SRP's surface water rights represented a potentially expensive, open-ended commitment.

However, the other council members all agreed the benefits "overwhelmed" the risks."

I wonder if Andy is just messin' with us? Maybe because he's not long for this council, so he's going to just through a little crap against the wall when he gets the chance? (Just my opinion:)
