A new electronic billboard near 31^' Street and Wall Avenue asks a tongue-in-cheek question about 1^' District Rep. Rob Bishop: "Have you seen this Congressman?" No meetings, no town halls, the sign points out. The longtime favorite son of conservative Northern Utah appears to be on the outs with some constituents who are willing to put their cash where their freedom of speech is. We got this idea on Friday and raised $2,400 over the weekend via a GoFundMe account, Marriott-Slaterville resident John Armstrong said. Armstrong said he did not want to embarrass the Congressmen, but said "we need to get a response." Armstrong said he began calling Bishop's office in early November and after no response, he finally received a call back that Bishop had no intention to hold a town hall meeting because he felt they were a bunch of paid liberal protestors. Armstrong said if Bishop should change his mind and decide to schedule a town hall meeting in Northern Utah, he will gladly pay to change the billboard to advertise the date, time and place of the meeting. Resident Kent Meyerhoffer has raised alfalfa for years on his small 25-acre piece of land west of Business Depot Ogden. But now, following installation of two pumps by the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District that tap underground water and funnel it to the Willard Canal on the western edge of his property, Meyerhoffer worries that the already tenuous water supply will turn to dust. It has had an impact already, reducing his alfalfa output last year, and he worries about a repeat this year. He said he just wants them to quit pumping the groundwater. That may not be in the cards, according to a rep from the conservancy district. The situation is yet one more indicator of the increasing scarcity of water as demand increases. Scott Paxman, Conservancy District Assistant General Manager said water is "becoming more and more precious and as water becomes more limited the conflicts become more apparent".
