The people of Utah told "their" legislators their wishes on medical cannabis. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints demurred. "Our" representatives bowed to the church, proving once again that Utah is still a theocracy.

The voters told "their" legislators their wishes on Medicaid; they even provided funding. "Our" representatives decided it was too expensive, never mind that the voters made it clear that they were willing to fund it. Never mind that the projected shortfall is 1/100 of 1 percent of the total budget, a rounding error.

If Mormons read the New Testament, they should know that Christ himself provided free health care for the poor.
