Weekly News Reel: Utah's Amendment D ruled unconstitutional prior to election

Today on the Weekly News Reel, we talk to Doug McMurdo, editor of the Times-Independent, about the recent decision to nullify Amendment D from the Utah ballot prior to November's election. If passed, Amendment D would have given the Utah Legislature the power to repeal citizen-passed ballot initiatives. We also discuss Grand County's new planning and zoning director, Amy Weiser, who says land use codes need a "complete overhaul." We finish up with a story about 11 recent school bus violations that will result in $1,000 fines per vehicle. - Show Notes - • ‘Amendment D is void’: GOP lawmakers’ constitutional amendment won’t be counted in 2024 election https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/amendment-d-is-void-gop-lawmakers-constitutional-amendment-wont-be-counted-in-2024-election/ • New county P&Z director: Land use code needs ‘complete overhaul’ https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/new-county-pz-director-land-use-code-needs-complete-overhaul/ https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/july-was-arid-throughout-utah/ • MPD cracks down on school bus scofflaws https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/mpd-cracks-down-on-school-bus-scofflaws/
