Time for smarter growth

Flags in Sandy City
It's time to encourage smart and planned growth in Sandy City. Sandy needs — and deserves — a municipal government dedicated to hearing public opinion and putting citizens first.
Ignoring the people: Controversy at the gravel pit
The ongoing discussion about Sandy's gravel pit is a
prime example of how important it is to listen to the citizens as the few
remaining open spaces in Sandy are developed. Despite the efforts of hundreds of people to the contrary, however, the Mayor, the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission ignored citizen opinion during the recent public uproar over the controversy.
Bad land use decisions don’t just impact a neighborhood, they impact our
community, our quality of life, and our families.
With only five percent of Sandy's open space remaning, we must balance the interests of home owners, land owners,
business owners (both large and small) and residents. That same balance is
what Gary T. Forbush brings to Sandy as Mayor.
