Letter: “Instead of a power grab, legislators should focus on critical problems facing the state, such as saving the Great Salt Lake, climate change and homelessness,” writes Dense in Salt Lake City.

By Denise Chancellor | The Public Forumand candidates had the temerity to demand health care providers “cease and desist” all abortions and threatened prosecution under Utah’s abortion trigger law, notwithstanding that the court has enjoined Utah from enforcing that law.

It is bad enough that the Legislature wants to shoehorn its way into executive branch functions by managing the development of the inland port and the former prison site at Point of the Mountain. It now wants to act as judge and prosecutor, too. Instead of a power grab, legislators should focus on critical problems facing the state, such as saving the Great Salt Lake, climate change and homelessness.

That’s adorable. The white ecclesiastical brethren are all about power & authoritarian rule. They know best.

Yet all you do is bash Mormons.

It is hard to imagine a more important issue than protecting innocent life from murder.

1978.. Ice age coming... 1989... Global warming, rising seas... 1993 .. Climate crisis soon 1997 ..any minute burst into flames 2001... It may be too late now 2010 wait 5 more years, you'll see 2020 fear monger crisis mode engaged 2022. Rinse, repeat.

I don't know ... She doesn't seem so dense.

Should focus on these but won't - environmental issues, in particular, will get their usual short shrift. What we will get is more 'message' bills and more crap about how the federal govt is evil (while the state is gladly accepting gobs of federal money).

How many ‘dense’ have written similar things?🤣

It would be so powerful for the Church to save the Great Salt Lake with the billions they're sitting on, a true testament to the vision of a working religious state, but it cannot be done because the LDS is a money-making org, not a problem-solving one
