OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- Residents of Eden who feel they're being forced into the new Powder Mountain town have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to allow an election for the town's council.
The lawsuit says town residents will be denied their right to have a council elected by the people if the county commission appoints the town council.
The plaintiffs want the judge to order commissioners not to appoint a six-member town council and instead to schedule an election for a five-member council.
