Utah: Legislators will make it easier to take signatures off petitions

Legislators, many of whom oppose two citizen initiatives now out for voter signatures, will look at making it easier for petition-signers to get their names removed from the documents, thus decreasing the odds that Utahns can vote on the measures this November. And the Utah Republican Party, which also opposes the initiatives, will consider organizing a formal effort to get names off the Fair Boundaries and Utahns for Ethical Government petitions, said GOP state chairman Dave Hansen.
