Utah: Ethics initiative continues to cause conflict

Mon, Feb 8 2010 — Source: The Salt Lake Tribune

As ethics-initiative backers scramble to gather enough signatures to place their measure on November’s ballot, opponents hope to make it easier for some of those names to disappear. In a statement last week, Utah’s conservative Sutherland Institute labeled the measure put forward by Utahns for Ethical Government “dangerous” and asked lawmakers to streamline the name-removal process for folks who signed but changed their minds. On Saturday’s Red Meat Radio show on 630 AM, Sen. Howard Stephenson said he would file a bill today to do just that.
