Current Issue: Ethics Reform:
Our Proposed Reforms:
Section One: Legally Prohibited Violations of Ethics Standards
Section Two: Financial Reforms
Section Three: Independent Ethics Commission
Section Four: Reforms to Enhance Utah’s Democracy
I support the proposed reforms.
These reforms are absolutely necessary!
Almost every standard proposed has been violated as documented in local media coverage. The 2001 redistricting outcomes were appalling. Salt Lake City was divided among all three congressional districts, Tooele county is divided into four Utah Senate districts and Moab is split down Main Street into two Utah House districts. Embarrassing!
Every one of these reforms will strenthen our democracy and raise the credibility of the Legislature.
These reforms should have been enacted long ago.
Public service should remain a “service,” not a method of self aggrandizement.
This is a great effort. Excellent proposals supported by strong, thoughtful people. You have my strong support.
More choices and options will improve governments.
