Two proposed citizens initiatives may be going before the Utah State Supreme Court for judgement on questions of initiative legality. Lehi City Council members moved to instruct the city recorder to find two citizens initiative petitions legally insufficient Tuesday night at City Hall.
As the deadline nears for two of three Lehi initiative petitions to gather signatures to get on the ballot in November, some voters are bandying harsh words with one another and illegal signs have been reported. “We have the initiatives, and it appears to be getting ugly,” said Councilwoman Kaye Collins at the late close of the March 8 Lehi council meeting. “There are some employees that are not acting in professional ways,” she said. “I have had people who have told me they have threatened them.” Lehi city administrator Jamie Davidson said he was not familiar with any threats, but he agreed that such behavior was not acceptable.
