Left-leaning and out-of-state groups are pouring in big money to push Proposition 4 to create an independent commission to draw Utah’s political boundaries — including nearly $1 million from a group founded by two Democratic Texas billionaires.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, says that’s a sign that Prop 4 isn’t really about creating better boundaries, “just better boundaries for Democrats.”
He adds, “Why are we getting all that national money coming in here? Democrats felt they lost control of Congress because of redistricting. And they want to create a safe Democratic seat in Utah. That’s what Prop 4 really is about.
