It's about time the justice system be overhauled in Utah. Justice cannot be served if a legislative part of the government system is controlling the judges and their decision making, part time or full time. For the legal system and justice to work there is a requirement that a seperation of powers exist. We don't let religion run the government, theoretically, so should the courts be left alone. The legal system and courts are a seperate entity with its own full powers and aurthority. Any judge that allows the city to dictate his/her decisions do not belong on the bench either. Then the cities hoarding water should be chastised and condemened. Farmers should have priority over water at a lesser cost and be allowed to drill wells if needed. What good is a population if it doesn't have food? Relying on imported food is unhealty and dangerous as we have all seen with the tainted products of foreign countries that do not give a damn about the american people. Nor do the mega importers that willfully hide any defective imports. Home grown food is safer, healthier, and a must have for the good of america.

It's funny...10 years ago, when the current justice court system was established, many judges raised the same concerns that the legislature is raising now. Too bad the Administrative Office of the Courts didn't listen to the guys actually doing the work, or we'd have avoided countless headaches and a myriad of injustices.

Right you are Bob. Supporting locally grown food will absolutely solve the problems we are experiencing with Justice courts. Geez! What a brilliant correlation!

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
