The quip I hear is, “If you don’t like it, vote for someone different.” How exactly can Utahns do that when the Legislature is working to ensure that those in power draw maps that keep them in power? We have a choice in November. Reject their amendment. Tell the Legislature loudly and clearly that Utahns understand the core tenets of the democratic process and that we retain our right to reform our government through ballot initiatives. In Utah, the Legislature has too much power. Even a middle schooler can see that.
