ProvoCitizens - Provo City government watchdog! serving citizens of Provo in zoning, etc.
Description
Who are we?
We are concerned Provo citizens from all walks of life that have come together to prevent a further taking away of citizens' rights and to help implement better solutions.
First, we believe that civility and responsibility are ultimately the products of a civil and responsible people. These are not things that can be legislated. Sadly, many of the laws passed by the city actually destroy personal responsibility, as we turn to the city to solve more and more of our problems.
Second, we believe that property rights are real and are eroding rapidly. Property is the centerpin of much of our identity and wealth as individuals or families. This does not mean that we can or should allow for a culture of "anything goes" with our property. What we do affects our neighbors' lifestyle and property values. However, many of the current and proposed laws have gone beyond a common sense effort to help people get along and to bring together compatible uses. Instead, the law is being wielded as a weapon to socially engineer neighborhoods and the city. The casualties are homeowners, renters, students, senior citizens and families alike. We seek to defend our rights to property, and to turn back the growing mountain of ill-conceived and agenda-driven legislation.
