Utah State House candidate Katie Olson: 'Raising taxes will never be popular but providing those in need with help should be, especially when you might be the person that needs the most help one day.'
An ambulance parked at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray on Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022.It’s truth-in-taxation season in Utah, another August and September full of angry residents waving their property tax notices over a podium. They usually say the same thing, all in two-minute speeches: The increase will break them and their fixed income.
Because Orem’s EMS resources were out on the fire, a police officer came and got our baby crying healthily. Clearly, both she and I were in fine condition. After about 15 minutes the ambulance dispatched from Provo arrived and transported us to the hospital with zero concerns. We rejoiced in a healthy baby and the help of good people.
A man approached the podium in the council chambers and identified himself as an east side resident. He did not want to pay for a fire station on the west side of town. After smashing his fist into the podium, he pointed at the mayor and yelled out, “I am more important than you are!” Raising taxes will never be popular but providing those in need with help should be, especially when you might be the person that needs the most help one day. Without pooling our resources, we can’t make sure that, when those 911 calls come in, help is ready and there for all those who need it.
