Local News Ballot language, again, appears illegal
Hi. I posted this to the Utah Reddit but it was removed. However, I have seen no mention of this…
When reading the ballot language about citizen initiatives, the reading level is above 12th grade. That should already be a red flag. Case already built, it’s above typical reading level, comprehension now a problem
Second problem, the language on taxes is highly confusing and face value reads untrue to the point of this proposition.
Utah already had ballot language struck for these exact reasons, on this exact topic of initiatives.
Face value, common person, even a “smart” person…this seems like intentional skewing the language to have someone not understand what they are voting for. That was already determined illegal by the Utah Supreme Court.
Time for that again?
