Truth Continues To Prevail

I was in a local grocery store the other day and ran into a neighbor of mine. "Why weren't you at that gondola meeting the other day?" he asked me. I informed him that I honestly had been asking questions and getting the answers on my own and felt I had a pretty good knowledge of the issue. I asked what he thought of the presentation. "To be honest," he replied, "as I went into that meeting, I was against this idea. But if it's not going to cost the taxpayers to bring it here, the worst it could do is help bring more jobs to this wonderful place."
We spoke for a bit longer before parting, and as we did so, I couldn't help but think how yet another person has been informed and recognized the gondola issue for its true merits. The thought that struck me the most at that point was- I have not yet found one person who was originally in favor of the "Ogden Gondola" who, upon hearing the facts, changed and no longer supports the idea (though maybe I am wrong and there is someone out there who has done this). In contrast, everyday, people in Ogden and the surrounding area are finding out the facts and details about this project and are supporting it. Nearly everyone I know of who has taken the time to find out the facts, have been in favor of this once those facts are in their possession.
To those who have heard bits and pieces about the gondola- Find out the truth. Learn the Facts. Ask the Right Questions from the Right People (and LISTEN to the Answers).
To those who support the gondola- Truth is Prevailing. Just make sure you can point your friends and neighbors to the CORRECT sources for the truth.
To quote a familiar phrase from a 90's TV show, "The Truth is Out There."
