Labor Unions Gather 320,000 Signatures, Group Works to Rescind
Utah's public labor unions say they've gathered 320,000 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to repeal H.B.267, Utah's ban on collective bargaining. But, now supporters of the bill have over a month to try to get voters to change their minds. Kevin Greene is the state director for the conservative Americans for Prosperity; his group is leading the effort. Plus, Senator Mike Lee has introduced the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote. It's caused some consternation among groups who say that it will disenfranchise women and others who've legally changed their name. Weber County Clerk, Ricky Hatch joins the show to sort it all out. And, Governor Spencer Cox confirms a May special session and talks Trump deportations at his monthly news conference.
