The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Sarah Reale, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, called Cox’s column “ironic.” While he argues for local control, she said, he has “signed dozens of bills into law" that have added additional layers of bureaucracy and removed local flexibility.

In Utah's municipal elections, voting by mail has drastically increased voter turnout, BYU researchers found.
An example: In Kamas, participation in local elections rose from 9% to 52% after vote-by-mail was implemented.

Before vote by mail, some local elections saw single-digit turnout. Looming reforms worry cities.

If you love public education--You should be worried about this bill: www.sltrib.com/news/politic... #utpol #uted
Your property taxes pay for your local schools. Utah lawmakers might change that.
The way Utah schools get their money may soon change — if a bill in the Utah Legislature, which would require local property taxes to go through the state's general fund, passes.
