Utah Legiswatch 2013--SB66

It seems the Utah Legislature tests the limits of what it can get away with every year it is in session. Two years ago in 2011 it was the showdown between the Legislature and We the People over HB477 which sought to make all correspondence with legislators secret. This year, the legislature is seeking to double or even triple the signature requirement for municipal Initiatives and Referenda (I and R) depending on location. Was this bill drafted because of the outcry of constituents? Who does the Utah Legislature actually work for? Link to SB66

Let your legislator know they work for you.
