The United Utah Party is joining the effort to overturn recent changes to the state’s tax code, setting aside for now a ballot initiative campaign that sought to impose term limits on state lawmakers and officeholders.
The party announced in July that it would seek public support to impose a limit of three terms on state senators, six terms on state representatives and two terms each for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, treasurer and auditor.
But on Friday, the United Utah Party announced it would put that campaign on hold and redirect its energies toward helping with signature gathering for a referendum seeking to repeal a package of income tax cuts and sales tax hikes approved by lawmakers earlier this month and signed by Gov.
