Comments about ‘Legislator targets noncompliance’

I think we should target the legislature for noncompliance on getting ethics bills passed.

The government is no longer of the people, for the people, by the people. What this country needs is a total full blown revolution against the corupt government of both stinking worthless parties.....

Both parties are corrupt thats for sure.

It's time for the Gov't to start working for the public again.We hired them so lets fire them when they stop working for us.

Vote! Stop voting the same bums in office, stop complaining and stop all campaign contributions. Vote!

It is the duty and responsibility of all law enforcement departments to enforce and obey all state and federal laws, even on immigration. If law enforcement encounters a known and wanted criminal by the feds or any city, they should arrest and detain the individual and notify any other law enforcement departments.

Protect and serve citizens, not illegals, is their motto, and that is their duty.

I have to agree with forcing city, county, and state police departments to enforce the laws. No law should be optional for them and penalties with fines and jail is justified.

But making government employee's pay scales secret is beyond reason and unethical. That is to say that government employee's are paid by a grade level system and levels within a grade and that should be public record.

The law should also allow that employees of any business can discuss their pay, without it we have job and pay discrimination. I think this is his objective, to make it criminal for employees, private or government, to discuss their pay and equality of pay. To criminalize wage discussion is another blow against labor and fair and equal wages and benefits in Utah.

Thank you Rep. Herrod. We need a Mayor in SL that directs the Police Chief to ENFORCE THE LAW about illegal aliens. Also enforce the EVERIFY law for new hires as the law directs.

Remember this when you vote.

seems to be on the side of the public. Sure vote out the bad guys, but this legislator is asking for accountability and access to what the named governments are doing. We have a right to the information he is trying to get. Arrogant "public servants" are refusing to give out the information. Go Powell.

If Rep. Herrod's bill requires government to police itself, it won't be effective.

Police officers who perjure themselves on the witness stand, bureaucrats who slow walk the delivery of information to unfavored members of the public, employees who injure private citizens through malfeasance or deliberate indifference ... all have nothing to fear from prosecutors who turn a blind eye to transgressions by other members of the political class.

Don't rely on government workers to be impartial judges in their own causes.

Will this apply to school districts as well?
It's time we examine the negotiated agreements and delete items that are breaking state and federal labor laws.

We, the public, employ those government workers and pay their salaries, so it makes no sense to keep their salary information a secret from us. No other employer in its right mind would agree to supervise a workforce without having access to such crucial information. Every year, certain legislators want to water down the GRAMA public records law and place more government records off-limits. We need more transparency in government, not less!

At the very least we must put some teeth into the existing GRAMA laws to make sure that information is not held back.

Individuals must be held accountable for concealing or withholding information.
