How Do Ballot Initiatives Shape Public Policy in Utah? [FULL EPISODE: The Hinckley Report S9E4]

In the early 20th century, Utah was one of the first states in the nation to give its citizens direct legislative power through the ballot initiative processes. For more than 100 years this constitutional provision has helped shape public policy in Utah, but in recent years it has played an even bigger role in state politics. Our expert panel examines the history, and what led up to the dynamics we see playing out in modern times.

In this episode of The Hinckley report, host Jason Perry is joined by political strategists Rich McKeown, Maura Carabello, and Marty Carpenter.
