Senate Bill 0054S01

Initiative and Referendum Petition Amendments, sponsored by Brent H. Goodfellow.Maybe I am missing something, but why would the legislature want to make it more difficult for citizens to hold a referendum? That is exactly what happened when this bill passed by a substantial 69-1-5 (1 nay and 5 absent or no vote). They changed the deadline for the signature packets from June 1 to April 15. The last day that the governor can sign a bill is March 25. So if there is a bill, say if vouchers were passed again, and if it were signed into law on March 25, citizens would only have 21 days to get a signature packet ready for submittal.Why is the legislature making it more difficult for citizens to correct their mistakes? This doesn’t make any sense. Citizens need to come together and take back control of the government. Kyle

About Me

I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho and have lived in Utah for 8 years, 7 of them in North Salt Lake.  I am employed at Fisher Company of North Salt Lake, where I am currently the finance and operations manager.  I received my bachelor’s degree in Materials Science Engineering from the University of Utah and I am currently enrolled at the University of Utah in the MBA program and will graduate in May.  I have served as an advisor for the North Salt Lake Youth City Council for 4 years.  I am married to Alice Fisher, a Davis county native, and we have three boys.  The oldest is in first grade and is benefiting from the great teachers that are in our public education system.

I feel honored to have this opportunity to run for the House District 20, representing the Democratic party.  I am running because I believe that our state government has lost touch with the goals of the people of Utah.  I want to bring the voice of the citizens back into office.  Please feel free to contact me anytime you wish.  I do want to hear what you think and what you have to say.  As this is brand new, please check back often to learn more about me and my goals for our wonderful state. Kyle
