Questions about 4th seat, vouchers, more
What are the chances of Utah getting a fourth congressional seat early?
Webb: Pretty much zilch. The proposal may pass the House, only to disappear in the catacombs of some Senate committee. Even Utah's two senators aren't enthusiastic about it. Many senators don't want to give the District of Columbia a House seat, fearing it will become a toehold to also give the District a U.S. senator. In the unlikely event it passes Congress, President Bush would probably veto it. This isn't an enormous thing for Utah, because we'll get a fourth House seat in a few years, anyway.
What does the attorney general's opinion mean for the voucher referendum drive?
Pignanelli: Lawyers make money. The anti-voucher crowd will need the Utah Supreme Court to strike legal objections and underscore the right of citizens to repeal legislation, as provided in the Constitution. Conversely, the state (a k a the Legislature) will push the court to rule the referendum cannot repeal all voucher legislation in a comprehensive manner. This is fertile ground for a great policy debate and will clarify the court's willingness to challenge the legislative branch.
