Today is election day and I wanted to remind everyone to get out and exercise their right to vote.  This right is something we as United States citizens seem to take for granted, but it really is important to do.  It is how we elect people that will directly and indirectly affect our lives, and so we should do our homework to learn about the issues and make educated decisions about who we want representing us.

Tooele City and Grantsville City are electing new mayors during this election and the decisions made at the polls will definitely affect us through policies they adopt, taxes they change, and perhaps even how the law is enforced (or not enforced) in the municipalities.  

There are also council positions  being determined during this election.  The city council members are those who make the laws that will govern our city and neighborhoods.  Good policies help a city become a more desirable place to live and thus increase the values of the homes in the area.  Make sure you choose wisely those who will represent what you want to see for our community in the future!
