The Metamorphous of the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department

At my Community Council Meeting this evening, one discussion of interest referenced the newly formed Salt Lake City Unified Police Department, which is the metamorphosis of the Utah County Sheriffs Department. A spokesman from the UPD said we will be seeing changes in cars uniforms, etc. within the next few months & by April the transition is final... and oh.... one small piece of trivia...it will cost tax payers more $$. Just from a homeowner’s perspective in unincorporated areas, you will be receiving a separate bill in a couple of months for $174 for your yearly fee for this new Unified Police Department. It has to be paid in one lump sum. Owners of apartments, businesses, etc. will have higher fees charged. I don't remember voting on this? So prepare yourself and...watch your mail boxes. Now I ask, is this the prelude of desensitization of the masses to prepare for the new world order? What can I say; I'm a fiction writer so I read into everything with vivid imagination.
