Whereas, Utah County elected officials received 9% pay raises in March 2023 and again in January 2024; and
Whereas, raises are usually reserved for superior performance instead of annual pay raises since 2021, and
Whereas, the Utah County Commission is required to deal with the County Budget, by state statute;
WE THE UNDERSIGNED citizens and voters of Utah County ask the Utah County Commissioners to pass a budget resolution to SUSPEND the pay raises of 2023 & 2024 for all elected officials until the $10 Million deficit is cleared, without any tax increase, and Utah County once again has a balanced budget - at which time the suspension of pay raises would end.

It would have been a good idea to cut the budget by $509,581 a year ... just in that one category! BUT they decided they were too greedy to take a little pain and passed on the pain to the Taxpayers (aka: VOTERS)
Remember this come Nov. 2025 and give them a taste of what real pain is ... LOSING!!!
The final meeting on the proposed
47.9% UTAH COUNTY TAX INCREASE
was on December 4th at 2 p.m. in the Utah County Commission Chambers when they passed the 2025 Budget ... which included the 48% property tax increase to get a balanced budget.
We won't see the property tax increase until the 2025 Tax Notices arrived in Nov. of 2025.

WHAT WE HAVE TO DO NOW is to remember this AND remind ourselves of this ACT (and LACK of action) on the part of any Utah County Commissioners running for re-election in 2025 OR 2026. THIS IS literally our chance to removed them from power and LIMIT THEIR TERM IN OFFICE come Election Day 2025 AND 2026!
