Wow, what a groundbreaking story! They "could have" but "did not". I think the Governor should call an emergency special session and get this door closed immediately. Another yawner of a story.

It's Bernick. What do you think? Time to put the guy out to pasture or move him to the SL Trib.

Sunshine best disinfectent

No, I think this raises a serious concern. Voters should be able to know who is contributing to their elected official and this loophole makes that impossible during the primary season, which in Utah is when most candidates are chosen. Keep shining light into Utah's dark spaces.

Open Your Eyes

This is not earth shattering news. We can already go to the Lt Governor's website to review campaign contribution disclosures. It's all public information. The sunshine exists. Just because you close your eyes, doesn't mean the sunshine disappears for the rest of us.

Missed Point

Open your eyes you missed the whole point. Politician are hiding what they are raising in PAC's that they start themselves. Such as the Speaker PAC that Speaker Curtis has. Most people are looking at the campaign accounts and not the PAC's. Just another smoke and mirrors job our legislators are using on the citizens of Utah. We need some laws that protect us from our lawmakers.
