In a video interview, UEG attorney David Irvine discusses the UEG petition and electronic signatures with California-based Etopia News.
Correction: Utah has had no more than 20 initiatives over the years, rather than the 100 that Dave indicated.
We’re closing in on the goal of 95,000 signatures, but in a number of crucial areas, we still have some important work to do, and we need more volunteers over the coming 2-3 weeks. In targeted areas, we can pay signature gatherers ($1.00 per signature of registered Utah voters). If you’re interested, contact Connie Watts. For more information, see our volunteer page.
Voters should decide whether Utah needs a truly independent Ethics Commission to advise the Legislature. That’s why we’re circulating an ethics initiative petition to collect 95,000 signatures. We are now working toward a deadline of August 12, 2010 (read more here). Please sign now to help get our initiative on the November 2012 ballot.
