The Revolt Has Begun
It was bound to happen sooner or later. And the voucher debacle the Utah Legislature tried to shove down the throats of reluctant Utahns probably was the impetus to make it happen now.
Democratic Rep. Neal Hendrickson's proposed resolution introduced for this session of the Legislature would make everybody happy.
In case you haven't heard before, the West Valley City lawmaker's HJR6 would split Utah into two states. The boundary between North Utah and South Utah would be at the southern border of Utah County and would extend in a straight line at that point from the Nevada border to the Colorado border.
The resolution invokes the intent of the founding fathers that the citizens of the United States enjoy equal representation from their government. It goes on to contend that because there are such differences of interests between the northern, more populous counties and the less populated, rural counties of southern Utah, citizens are not getting the representation they deserve.
But with Hendrickson's proposal, the more progressive types in Salt Lake, and Weber counties, along with Park City and a couple of in-the-closet liberals in Bountiful could actually have a Legislature that might listen to them once in a while.
And the southern Utah folks would never have to put up with a liberal again. In fact, South Utah would probably become the most popular stopover for people like Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
The only unhappy folks might be those in Utah County because they would be stuck with the liberals up north. But, like South Carolina, they could always secede.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly
