Utah Senate says ‘yes-yes’ to a Con-Con
(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) Sen. Evan Vickers talks about the issues facing the Legislature, during a news conference with the new Senate majority leaders at the Utah state Capitol, Nov. 8, 2018. Vickers is sponsoring a resolution adding Utah to a list of states calling for a convention of states to amend the U.S. Constitution. But whether or not a convention ever occurs, Vickers said the prospect of state-sponsored amendments to the nation’s governing document could get the attention of federal leaders in Washington, D.C., and potentially put the country on a path toward fiscal responsibility and respect for the balance of powers.
