The crusader season is coming to an end as Tuesday’s election day approaches. This extinct race means an extensive crusade through advertisements, direct mail, flyers, posters on doors and word of mouth.
The symptoms published by Orem in connection with Proposition 2 attract the most attention in Utah County. Lakeridge Junior High is seismically hazardous.
The deceptive symptoms of the door were announced Tuesday “children will die in the event of a primary earthquake. “
It is shown next to the Utah Taxpayers Association logo, along with a banner that reads “approved through the Utah Taxpayers Association. “
In small black print, the photo reads “paid through Orem for a better education. “
Rusty Cannon, president of the Utah Taxpayers Association, isn’t happy that the association’s logo is being used without permission.
“The Utah Taxpayers Association never legalized any user or entity to use our logo with respect to Proposition 2,” Cannon said. without our permission. “
Requests for comment to Pedersen and others who supported the Yes vote on Proposition 2 were not returned.
Doorhangers were placed with an image of Orem Elementary School in large red letters saying “dangerous” in the school district. The hangers refer to a 2022 study in which 11 Orem schools were identified by FEMA as seismically hazardous.
According to Kimberly Bird, ASD’s executive director of internal operations, the organization refers to a FEMA state report released in February.
The doorhanger argues that the Alpine School District chose to make renovations to the school while taking Orem’s taxpayer money.
“Protecting students is a priority, as the Alpine School District has solved many seismic issues over the years with bonds and equity funds. Many school reconstructions and renovations have been carried out at various sites,” said ASD spokesman David Stephenson. “These innovations were based on the 2006 Reaveley Report. We will continue to deal with old buildings and seismic issues as more rapid surveys are conducted in the future.
Stephenson added that $200 million of the $595 million bond proposed through the Alpine School District would go toward seismic reconstructions and renovations. he said.
Between 2016 and 2021, ASD invested $1. 3 million in protection innovations at Orem Elementary, one of those marked as “unsafe. “
Allyssa Mae is a parent of students at Orem Elementary and Lakeridge Junior High. He also included his symbol in a “Vote No” letter on Proposition 2 and expressed fear that his children would be told he wasn’t sure about moving on to their schools.
“These fliers are publishing blatant lies,” Mae said. These schools are not on the list of schools requiring earthquake improvements. There is no FEMA 2022 test. The study was conducted by seismologists with a FEMA grant. Calling it a FEMA exam is another lie.
Bird added that FEMA’s report is about document studies and government building structure dates.
“We remain committed to aggressively addressing our seismic considerations that became known in this extensive 2006 study. We have committed to paying $200 million of the $595 million bond to address seismic school considerations on our initial list,” he said.
Questioning the claims made with the door sign, ASD published the list of Orem schools and how much money it invested in them between 2016 and 2021.
