and D-Bell's home computer and phone so over whelmed, a website was created and email
distribution lists consolidated, www.dbelltax.blogspot.com. D-Bell receives excellent support
from the folks of the Ogden Valley Forum... mysteriously "Val E.". who support the cause.
While the For Sale signs were being distributed by Wingman Sorensen,
D-Bell was busily networking with more than concerned Valley residents numbering
in the hundreds. He began reaching out to other groups like Citizens for Tax Fairness
www.citizensfortaxfairness.org,
a Bountiful citizens group cofounded by Ron Mortensen.
Networking continues from north to south, east to west forming a Statewide
Coalition of citizens for property tax reform.
Bell and Sorensen are both pilots, so it was natural to select the name
"Wing men (and ladies of course) for Property Tax Reform".
Together they delivered petitions with more than one thousand signatures to
the Weber County Assessor and to the Chairs of the Utah State Legislature's
Revenue and Taxation Interim Committee. Bell gave an impassioned speech for
broad and comprehensive property tax reform on 19 Sept., and several from
the tiny Town also contributed with their own testimony. They were joined and
continue to be joined by citizens from all over the State who are livid and disgusted
with the inaction of our elected officials.
Highest taxed County in the State has turned down all efforts
Representative Froerer tries in vain to meet with Weber County Commissioners and
the School District to mimic Davis County Commissioner's rebate program after they
legally held Truth in Taxation meetings. Yet the highest taxed County in the
State has turned down all efforts to gain tax relief at every bend and turn.
