Show Notes

In recent years, citizen-led ballot initiatives have played a major role in Utah politics. Our expert panel examines the power guaranteed to the people by Utah's Constitution. Plus, how have initiatives shaped state policy and are there any winners and losers in the process? Political strategists Rich McKeown, Maura Carabello, and Marty Carpenter join host Jason Perry on The Hinckley Report.

 

Editorial Note: This episode was recorded before the Utah Supreme Court issued a ruling voiding Amendment D from Utah ballots this November.
