Two groups are mounting expensive, last-ditch efforts to derail two state ballot initiatives that otherwise appear to be well on their way to a vote.
One of the rearguard actions has been launched by a handful of political activists who want to keep political power in the hands of a self-selected few. The other is the work of a larger group of medical and law enforcement professionals who are sure they know better than we do what’s good for us and don’t care what we think.
In one corner, there is Keep My Voice, an oddly named group that wants to make sure that the power to choose public officials in Utah — at the national, state and county levels — remains the exclusive purview of a relative handful of caucus-goers and convention delegates.
