Citizens in Charge

Utah Senate Bill 275, sponsored by the apparently less-than-voter-friendly Sen. Howard Stephenson, has passed both houses and now sits on the Governor’s desk. The bill would give opponents of an initiative one month more to try to get voters to take their names off of a petition than initiative proponents have to get voters to put their names on. This not only gives opponents an unfair advantage in their campaigns, but opens up voters to harassment.
