Yesterday morning at about 9AM we received a call. \u00a0Our caller\u00a0said we should contact another person and ask about the Film Studio. \u00a0We did so and found out that the workers had allegedly been told about a week before that they should go home due to \u201clack of funds\u201d*. We contacted another source who told us Leslie Thatcher had asked someone from the Park City Planning office about this at about 7:40 that morning. \u00a0According to our source they told Ms. Thatcher that this sort of thing is \u201cnormal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Really? \u00a0It\u2019s common for a $120 million project to have to be\u00a0put on hold while waiting for monetary commitments so the project can continue? \u00a0 \u00a0Was that expressed during the approval process for this movie studio? It reminds me of my fraternity in 1992 who needed some money from all of us to fix our air conditioner. \u00a0It was a very hot August, September, May, June\u2026 well you get the idea.<\/p>\n
In the Park Record, which posted the story at\u00a0about 10:40AM, we learned that construction had been halted on 9\/9\u2026 a week before anything was reported by the City or any other media outlet. \u00a0 \u00a0This also jibes with our earlier source\u2019s information.<\/p>\n
The important question is why\u00a0did this take a week to come out? \u00a0We know it\u2019s embarrassing. \u00a0We know it\u2019s not the hoped-for outcome. But why\u00a0did it take so long? \u00a0It\u2019s big for our little community.<\/p>\n
I know it\u2019s the job of businesses to control their message. \u00a0I know that city governments often operate to protect themselves. \u00a0I also know that we as people have a right to know about the events that impact us.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we have added the ability to submit tips<\/a> to the Parkrag. \u00a0If you know of something that should be reported and don\u2019t want it squashed by the powers that be, please let us know. \u00a0We can\u2019t make any guarantees about publishing the info. \u00a0We don\u2019t have hundreds of lawyers ready to fight Cease and Desist orders. \u00a0However, there are things that should be reported. \u00a0If you know\u00a0of something and are willing to share, please let us know.<\/p>\n You can either submit a form<\/a> with the information or\u00a0email us<\/a>. \u00a0We are also happy to take information anonymously. \u00a0We just want to make sure information that should be shared is actually shared.<\/p>\n Our goal is to increase transparency in and around Park City. \u00a0There is no reason an issue like this should have been hidden from the public for a week. \u00a0Hopefully, in the future, it won\u2019t be.<\/p>\n *Note: We didn’t hear the term “lack of funds” from the original source. This was relayed by someone else. \u00a0So, we can’t confirm exactly what was said specifically at the time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday morning at about 9AM we received a call. \u00a0Our caller\u00a0said we should contact another person and ask about the Film Studio. \u00a0We did…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
