Proposed law: "That is power protecting itself"
Proposed law: "That is power protecting itself"
One of the bills sponsored by the GOP will weaken the voter initiative process and appears to be a direct result of the GOP's attempt in the legislature to roll back Proposition 4 that eliminates Congressional District Gerrymandering. From Utah News Dispatch "When lawmakers are unhappy with constitutional rulings, this bill gives them a way to change the forum, redirect cases, and shape the process by which their own laws are reviewed and decided,” Kimball told the committee. “That is not separation of powers. That is power protecting itself.”
