Utah Blog Pick of the Week: From Rob Miller at The Utah Amicus
Parents for Choice: Rhetoric vs. Reality
By Contributing Writer, 4-10-07
Chairman Wayne Holland Jr. just made a great point about the voucher referendum petition while being interviewed by The Deseret News.If Parents for Choice truly believes that a majority of Utahns support vouchers based on their slanted poll, then they should be assisting Utahns for Public Schools to put the issue before the people of Utah, and allow Utahns to put this issue to bed once and for all. Instead it seems that they would rather continue to use Utah as an ongoing laboratory for right wing think tanks.
Unfortunately their rhetoric does not match reality. They claim Utahns support their issue, but at the same time they seem to fear bringing Utah citizens to the ballot box.

Rob consistently does an awesome job over at Utah Amicus. The voucher trolls hate him and I am sure they will be on this in no time.
Their argument now is that when the citizens of Utah decide vouchers aren't for them that then the courts will get involved. Well wouldn't that be just proper?
When the Utah citizens decide DEMOCRATICALLY that they don't like this legislation should it still be implemented through the back door?
I am sure all the out of state money pushing vouchers on Utah could careless how it happens but I think as a Utah voter I would feel a little upset if that is indeed what happens, I hope the courts get involved to enforce what the we decide.
