A message to the residents of SunCrest from one of the candidates, Greg Powers, who is running for City Council:
I am running for Draper City Council and would appreciate if you could help me get the word out to SunCrest residents about where I stand in regards to their situation. If you could forward this message on to the members of your group I would appreciate it.
As of now we are in litigation and I don't know how it will turn out. I'm sure we will find many things the council could have done better in hind sight, but I'd like to address the future of SunCrest.
The council members are elected at large, therefore the city as a whole is responsible for their election. It was mistakes and misunderstandings between the council and SunCrest and Zions that would cause us to have to pay out a settlement, not mistakes from SunCrest residents. They are no more responsible than any other Draper resident who voted for the council members who made the mistake.
Whatever it turns out the mistakes were what got us into this, we all voted for those who were involved in the misunderstanding, whether we live in SunCrest or not we are responsible. So if there is a settlement between Draper and Zions all of Draper needs to pay it. The residents may not like it, but if they don't they should be upset with the council, not SunCrest residents.
I have a long time family friend who lives in SunCrest and I visit there often, we are all part of one community and we need to stand up, take responsibility for who we elected, and slug this out together. We are not SunCrest residents and Draper Residents.
WE ARE ONE DRAPER!
