Letter: Does separation of church and state apply in Utah?

Various newspaper articles have indicated the majority of Utah's legislators are LDS/Mormon, and this could explain what has happened to the bills and propositions that A. Joe Veltri mentioned in his Feb. 27 letter in the Public Forum.It would seem that Thomas Jefferson's comments on the intent of the United States Constitution's separation of church and state may not apply to those in Temple Square.

Pushing for special elections or replacement bills is not only counterproductive and disruptive, but indicates the general voting public did not make the “proper” decision.Utah’s population is growing, and the next elections could be interesting.
