Two factions

Payson has two major factions. One faction planned poorly for retirement, and the other faction planned well. Those who planned want progress and a clean prosperous town. Those who are squeaking by just want to be comfortable until they die. The Tea Party and Trump represent the faction living on the edge with nothing by a social security check. The Tea Party faction just wants to keep the cost of getting to the graveyard low. Those who planned want to enjoy the trip to the graveyard with a nice town full of amenities.  Progressives are doing just that trying to make progress. The conservative faction just wants a good fantasy that justifies their existence. Fortunately the prosperous are in the majority. Sadly the vocal people on the edge of poverty are steering the ship. It is time for the majority to take control.
