Judge Denise Lindberg of 3^rd District Court told representatives of the FLDS today: pay up, or else. The ultimatum was given over the required monthly payments that everyone in the twin towns of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona were supposed to be making to the United Effort Plan Trust. The UEP trust owns just about everything in the towns, but is in the red by 2.5 million dollars. It needs cash to pay the bills.

So last year the judge, would took control of the trust away from FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs four years ago, authorized a monthly payment – something similar to the dues of a homeowner’s association.

For two months, Judge Lindberg said, the FLDS paid. Each family paid their leaders, and their leaders made a lump sum payment to the Utah Attorney General’s office. Then the FLDS payments stopped. Now they’re 6 months behind. They owe more than $385,000.

In a status conference Wednesday on a possible settlement with the FLDS, the judge told their representatives they’ve got until Monday to pay half of the outstanding amount with the rest due by June 15^th. “I absolutely demand… this is an order of the court,” she said. “Those payments need to be made forthwith. There will be no withholding of payments. Period.”
