Two bills sponsored by Utah lawmakers this year could potentially lead to the adoption of a new state flag.
But while one proposal would create a commission to review and seek input on new flag designs, the other already has a design in mind and asks legislators to vote, now, on a change.
“They either will like this flag or not,” said Richard Martin, chairman of the Organization for a New Utah Flag, “and virtually everybody likes it.”
Martin, a Utah County businessman who ran to be Utah’s governor 2010, said he wants to avoid the perils of design-by-committee.
