Shovel some snow

While Cottonwood Heights residents are dealing with a fanatic one hour snow removal ordinance, Magna is forgotten as usual.
Salt Lake County actually has a similar ordinance, but it is not enforced at all in Magna:

14.32.100 Snow removal--Required.

It is unlawful for the owner, occupant, lessor or agent of property abutting on a paved sidewalk to fail to remove or cause to be removed from such paved sidewalk and any existing curb ramp all hail, snow or sleet falling thereon, within one hour after the hail, snow or sleet has ceased falling, provided that in case of a storm between the hours of five p.m. in the afternoon and six a.m. in the morning, the sidewalk and any existing curb ramp shall be cleaned before eight a.m. the morning following the storm. (Ord. 1265 § 18, 1994: prior code § 10-12-8)

So as usual Salt Lake County could care less about Magna, and worst of all many property owners could care less about their community. After spending millions of dollars to update Historic Magna Main Street, Salt Lake County does little to maintain their investment, and many businesses on Main Street fail to take advantage of the nice new pavement, and leave it buried in ice instead. Plus many property owners on Main Street are absentee landlords and haven't even seen their skating rink for sidewalks in months.

Lets do better Magna! Take pride in your town, and have consideration for the people that use the sidewalks.

Get out and shovel!

At least the robbers are friendly

Police in Magna, Utah, are on the lookout for two men who allegedly stole beer from a grocery store after trying to pay for it and being rejected.

Deputies said the two men walked into the Smith's store picked up some beer and asked the clerk if they could buy it.

Since it was after 1 a.m., they were refused, Salt Lake City's KUTV reported Monday.

The suspects then allegedly also asked if they could steal some beer, to which the clerk replied yes, but Jesus is watching.

Investigators say the suspects showed a pistol, then took the beer and left $9 on the counter and could now face armed robbery charges if caught.

Dadnapped delayed

Dadnapped, a Disney Movie filmed on Magna Main Street, has apparently been put on hold as a result of the writers strike.

Too bad, can't wait to see how Main Street looks on TV.

Oil Changes Etc, hates Magna

Here is an example of a lack of respect for Magna by a member of the community, and a lack attention from Salt Lake County.

Donny Sweaney, owner of Oil Changes Etc. is in open defiance of County code enforcement, after numerous complaints from town residents. After Mr. Sweaney purchased this home early last year he promptly turned it into a junk yard, to match the junk yard he runs across the street under the guise of an oil change business. Sweaney has ignored citations from the county, and the junk just keeps piling up.

It is a sad sight to see.
