Letter: Utah is not a democracy

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) A truck adorned with digital billboards and paid for by Utah Decides circles the Capitol complex during the second week of the session, showing support messages for Prop 3 with “Respect Voters” and other pro-initiative statements on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019, as a new Medicaid revamp version of SB96 with “technical changes” recently passed the Senate and moves to the House for consideration.

In response to Michael Feldman’s Feb. 13 letter to The Public Forum, here are the answers to his questions.

“What kind of democracy are we running here in Utah?”

State government is not running a democracy in Utah. Our legislators and governor are running a callous theocracy.

“Where is the caring for the citizens that our Legislators represent?” There is none unless you are an LDS lobbyist or a member of the 1 percent.
