Letter: Real LDS values would help in the Legislature
(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Mourners cross temple square on their way to the Conference Center to pay their last respects to LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson during his funeral service in Salt Lake City Friday, January 12, 2018.Several weeks ago, there was a piece in The Tribune about the majority of seats in the Utah Legislature being held by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The article insinuated that much of what our LDS legislators do is based on their religious faith, or that they are powerfully influenced by LDS authorities to vote certain ways. I considered sending in a response then, but decided not to.
