Utah’s prominent Miller family and some high profile developers have joined in the financial fight against Proposition 2, the state’s medical marijuana initiative.
Disclosure forms filed Monday with the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s Office show Gail Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz and Utah’s most wealthy resident, along with developers Roger Boyer and Scott Keller each making a $100,000 donation to Drug Safe Utah, the group fighting the initiative, joining previously reported donations of that size by developers Kem Gardner and Walter Plum III.
“All of us want medical marijuana for those it can help but only with appropriate safeguards, which the proposition does not contain,” Gardner said in an email to The Tribune, echoing the position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
