Several weeks ago, there was a piece in The Tribune about the majority of seats in the Utah Legislature being held by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The article insinuated that much of what our LDS legislators do is based on their religious faith, or that they are powerfully influenced by LDS authorities to vote certain ways. I considered sending in a response then, but decided not to.
Then on Feb. 2, there was a letter about the “LDS supermajority” in our Legislature, this one stressing the dominance of LDS religious influence.
