How can something like this ridiculous fiscal note happen in the first place?
Who directs the legislative analysts that determined the cost? Can they be fired for incompetence? What is $250,000 doubled?
Either way, though, $1 million is way too high. This really just shows how desperately the Ruling Party in both branches wants to cling to power.
If the Republicans really believe that their "product" satisfies more Utahns, they shouldn't have to gerrymander to win. Why are they so afraid of fair competition?
