Editor:
I have noticed that that people who want a 4-year college always talk about the positive attributes of education. But in a town like Payson there are many negatives that should be considered also.
There are not enough students here for this college so many students will have to come from other places. There is nothing here to provide for their entertainment or amusement.
In other places like this it has been shown that more police services are needed. Our police department is hard pressed now.
The infrastructure in our town has always been problematic. Among other things we have streets that are very dangerous to drive on at posted speed limits. We also have many intersections with limited visibility.
Colleges are businesses that make money and we don't need one in a small mountain town like ours. There is already a community college here and it will be suitable for student use. There are big colleges within reasonable distances and if they are deemed to be too expensive then that should be addressed.
Don't put these expensive pressures on our town just to improve someone's economic situation.

I strongly disagree.
My feelings are best expressed in the column "Small college towns are great places to live."
See "Rimshots" in this Blog
On the 4 year college issue there are SPECIAL INTEREST projects involved in this 320 acre PROJECT.Education is being used to camoflage these other lesser known profit generating businesses.There is plenty of emphases on education and Payson is not the place for THIS college.

It's true. They will probably build a stage for thespians and
clubs for philatelists could abound. Anything's possible.
By the way, I thought your petition to clothe all animals was excellent. No more rude animal nudity. Nice work.
