The relatively short life of Utahns for Balanced Government has come to its effective end after the group put out a series of radio and social media advertisements in opposition to Constitutional Amendment C — which would allow Utah’s Legislature to call itself into special session.
The political issues committee, or PIC, was formed by Marty Carpenter, former campaign manager for Gov. Gary Herbert. And disclosure forms filed with the state elections office show its operations were funded by a single contribution of $55,000 from Herbert’s political action committee, or PAC, and a $50 donation from Carpenter.
