Letter: Utah is surely not a democracy

(Keith Johnson | Special to The Tribune) President Russell M. Nelson speaks during the concluding session of the 188th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct. 7, 2018, in Salt Lake City.Our legislators have such contempt for the voting public that they think they alone know what is best for us. Even when we vote for something, they have to interpret what we really meant.

With their "superior wisdom," they can alter it to suit themselves, knowing full well they can act with impunity because they have that magic little "R" after their names, the totem that guarantees lifelong security.

I wonder, is Utah a theocracy, an oligarchy or maybe both?…
