Poetic Thoughts on the Utah County Commission Meeting. Tuesday, March 8. 2016.
Technology is wonderful, from iPads to the drone;
it even lets L. Ellertson conduct things on the phone.
He wasn't there in person as deliberations started;
he'd disappeared to lands unknown and possibly uncharted.
But still we heard his vibrant voice when calling for endorsement
of resolutions and for rules in need of strict enforcement.
The meeting went by pretty quick, there was no controversy;
nothing to make anyone upset or get all pursy.
However, Item Number Two upon the normal docket
has caused my feelings to explode, in fact to nearly rocket:
How do you take a trifle and expand it so intensely
that it becomes a problem that perplexes so immensely?
Do other Utah counties charge a company a fee?
Our recorder doesn't think it's part of our own history.
Provo Land & Title asked why they were singled out
as having some small rule betrayed, ignored, began to flout.
They were assured there was no problem, no worries -- no sirree!
(But maybe they were gonna have to pay some kind of fee.)
The legal scholars had convened and gave as their opinion
that papers must be drawn and signed to guard public dominion.
The issue was not settled, no not even by a vote --
it still appears as murky as a medieval moat.
Were ev'ry jot and tittle to be analyzed this way,
the Commissioners would have to meet twelve hours every day!
