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?

First Party to 1 million in Utah is No Party
Not to be confused with the party of no, the first bloc of Utah voters to amass 1 million voters will be the unaffiliated or as we prefer independent voters--no party or party of no thanks. On May 31 the independent voter total was 987,244. Today, October 21, 2011 the total is 998,069. Harold Camping may be predicting that the end of the world is today, but Microsoft Excel is telling me that independents will officially reach the 1 million mark at 8:22 am on December 13, 2011.
Independent voter growth was roughly twice that of republican voters during the period.
