I do agree with Siegfried's comments. My experience as of late in trying to put some brakes on Wal-Mart development has proven very un-fruitful (Sandy Gravel Pit Rezoning) but I'll be willing to bang my head some more and help out where I can. One thing that I have noticed in the hearings etc. that I've attended is probably worth bring up. Folks from out of town that are worried about their recreational activities really don't seem to carry much if any sway with local government officials. People that pay taxes and vote in their district are much more likely to at least be heard. It might be well for us to involve as many Tooele County residents as possible.

We do need to bring to the attention of the powers that be the purpose of the light poluution ordinances and push as hard as we can to preserve as much of the dark sky as we can.
Kim, I think I'm hearing an undertone of willingness to be involved, at least to see how far we can make an impact. Should an organizational meeting be held? Who has the most information on what is going on. How can we best get information?

We should find out all of the details we can.
Will there be public
disclosure of the detail plans? When? Will there be an opportunity for public input. I agree with the idea that we should be involved and get as much ahead of this as we can.
Any volunbteers for a committee?
