What Utah voters should know about Constitutional Amendment A

An upcoming ballot initiative will have Utah voters decide if the State government should have more money during emergency situations.

Are they still limited to that 1% if the governor calls them into session?

This is voting on hypothetical circumstances, and emergencies are interpreted differently by various parties. Leave well enough alone, should an emergency arise, it will be dealt with at the time with all parties given a voice.

Nope. Nope. Nope.
Don't like it.
Too many politically motivated "emergencies" happening lately.

Are they going to use it for the right thing though I would say I'm against it I think they have plenty and we the people are the ones suffering even after the earthquake they weren't prepared and this pandemic I think management of money would help

[randstahl]

Seems favoring the amendment would provide Utah legislature increased budget flexibility during times of crisis or when a special session is warranted to address a specific issue.
Rock on!

"If we had an earthquake....". Yes, or if an iceberg fell on SLC.
