Wanted: ethics reforms
15 comments | Read story
My cynical analysis is that the ethics initiative is driven by people who want to exercise control over my legislators by threat, and that the redistricting folks are Democrat Party plants.
My two responses: 1) I want to control my legislators, and I do, by virtue of my vote and my voice - each year, I e-mail them to tell them it's time to stop taking bribes. 2) Until the redistricting folks show me sister groups in Illinois, Michigan, and dozens of other Democrat-controlled states, they are pursuing a narrow political agenda.
Until we know all the facts, odds are that these two groups are not working for all Utahns. The question is, who are their true bosses?
2. No lobbyists
The legislators and their friends will try to nick pick this to death. They do not want to change.
Reform is one thing. This is just silly.

Liar and story teller.
Hateful and RUDE.

Please vote for these changes so that the legislature understands in no uncertain terms that we the people mean business. Otherwise they may pass something, but then when the heat is off repeal the laws. (Remember term limits?)
