Brigham City use to allow those outside of the city limits to speak for years at the public comment period. Then there was a discussion of getting rid of the public comment period in 2013; the same with the county commissioners, but both decided against it.
Then Mayor Vincent and the city council decided to let residence speak first and those outside of the city limits to speak second. There was no problem with this arrangement. It would be great if more Brigham citizens became involved in attending these meetings and claiming their rights. We need more watchman on the tower to stand against all the socialism and fascism (public/private partnerships) that have entered our Republic form of government that our representatives do not want to get rid of.
I asked to speak recently at the Brigham City meeting regarding elections. Mayor Bott put it to the council to vote on. Council member, Matthew Jensen, was the first one I noticed to say, “no.” I found this interesting because he is a member of my stake high council and he came to my ward sacrament meeting in September 2023, for Constitution month and spoke on the Constitution. He denied me my First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Actions speak louder than words.
I passed out a “Petition for Redress of Grievance” on elections to each representative by the Box Elder Committee of Liberty since I was not allowed to speak. At another meeting I passed out a “Petition for Redress of Grievance” in opposition to the “New Fine Arts Bldg.” the city wants to build. When I was asked at the stores if I wanted to round off my total amount to donate to this building, I stated, “no thank you.” I do not want to help Brigham City build another socialist bldg., and force the citizens to subsidize it just like the Academy Convention Center.
All citizens whether in or out of the city limits who want to participate in government, should be allowed to speak during the public comment period to stand against all the socialism we presently have, the added socialism the city wants to bring in along with more fascism. We are a Republic form of government and we should act like one. Socialism, Fascism, Marxism, Communism are false government principles built on lies and history has proven they always fail.
