It's been a topic that's popped up often especially since the city council isn't willing to let them come in and join as a non pledging city. At least that way they could have some lines deployed with no liability and no cost to the city. Pretty shortsighted if I'm understanding this right. But then again what else could we expect from Mayor Newton. Most people I've spoken to are underwhelmed by his leadership (not just in this field mind you). He's up for re-election in 2010. If we're still in West Jordan you can bet I'll be heavily supporting someone else for Mayor :D We’ve considered moving out of West Jordan to a city with Utopia already available.

Hopefully some details on customer installations to new area's(layton) will make it past Utopianet's Iron Curtain at the upcoming perry city meeting.
