Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox along with his wife, Abby, and children, Adam, 16, and EmmaKate, 12; made a campaign stop at the ConToy Arena in Mt. Pleasant last Saturday on his quest for the office of Governor in 2020.
MT. PLEASANT—Lt. Governor Spencer Cox made a stop in Mt. Pleasant at the ConToy Arena on his campaign trail for the office of Governor. Cox arrived with many members of his family to greet his supporters. The stop was number 187 of the 248 cities and towns in Utah that Cox has pledged to visit. Mt. Pleasant Mayor Dan Anderson welcomed Cox to the community, even though Cox was raised in nearby Fairview and graduated from North Sanpete High School. Cox went on to become a lawyer, mayor of Fairview, Sanpete County Commissioner, legislator and Lt. Governor.
Former Mt. Pleasant City Councilman Monte Bona also greeted Cox and soon came up with a service project for Cox and family to raise additional funds for his campaign. Bona called it “piling it higher and deeper”, when he led the group out to the horse barn where Bona pledged to donate $100 per wheelbarrow load of “stuff” removed from the stalls. Bona also encouraged others in attendance to match the contribution. Cox said, “We have completed 44 service projects while visiting the different areas of the state. Utah leads the nation in volunteerism and charitable contributions and my family and I are grateful for the Please see COX, Page A6
MT. PLEASANT — Due to recent city ordinance discussions it appears that a rumor has been circulating among the populace that there is a moratorium on building in Mt. Pleasant City. The existence of a moratorium is false. On July 23, a Pending Ordinance Rule was adopted relative to zoning regulations in Mt. Pleasant City and expires after six months. With the new rule being misunderstood, it has been assumed by some that all building in Mt. Pleasant is on hold for six months. Mt. Pleasant Mayor Dan Anderson and Planning Commission Chairperson Connie Roper recently asked for clarification of the rule. For instance, would the Pending Ordinance Rule allow the planning commission to take action in a duly noticed meeting to allow someone to build a home or multi-level unit if all of the prerequisites in a given zone have been met? The answer is yes, the rule is not a moratorium. It does allow the planning commission to move forward with projects on a case-by-case basis. For the record, since the rule went into effect in July, there have been four building projects approved in Mt. Pleasant.
