Democratic Party Asks Gov. HuntsmanTo Permit Legislative Debate on Redistricting Process

Salt Lake City, Utah – Wayne Holland, Chair of the Utah State Democratic Party, issued the following statement today regarding the proposed special legislative session for redistricting:

The Democratic Party agrees with Governor Huntsman that it is imperative that we come together and to gain a much needed and deserved fourth seat. In order for that to happen, Utah Democrats respectfully request that the Governor include on the Special Session Call the ability to modify the redistricting process.

Support of the Democratic Party for any map devised by the current process is contingent upon adopting standards for future redistricting to protect voters and community interests. Our clear preference is for an independent redistricting commission as presented by Rep. Roz McGee in 2005 HJR14 (click here). An unbalanced committee doing the job is just wrong. The majority need do nothing to build consensus. It is time for the legislature to take up this important debate and commit to changing this process that fails to serve the people of Utah.

The current system for redistricting in Utah uses guidelines designed to prevent possible court challenges rather than to serve the interests of the voters of Utah. This has the effect of creating "values-free" redistricting plans that maximize gains of those with the power to implement them and fail to take into account other legitimate community interests. We recognize that having standards may invite lawsuits. However, failure to enact standards to protect the community allows self-interest to be nearly the sole standard used by mapmakers.

Those traditional redistricting standards that we support include: redistricting once per decade after the decennial census, one person - one vote, utilize the most recent census data, districts that are contiguous and compact, do not retrogress the position of racial minorities, preserve communities of interest, respect political subdivisions, respect geographical boundaries, preserve the core of existing districts, minimize voter disruption, and respect voters choices as expressed in previous elections. Any map worthy of support, even from the current system, must meet these standards.

There should also be some criteria developed to protect racial minority populations consistent with the spirit of the Voting Rights Act. For example, there might be rules against packing or fracturing communities that have a high proportion of racial minorities. Or a rule to ensure that there is no retrogression in the ability of racial minorities to participate in the process and in electing representatives of their choice consistent with Beer v. United States. Our chief concern is that by looking only at single race demographics, the legislature has failed to protect Utah's racially minority communities that taken together have a strong political cohesion.

Another important criterion would be to minimize the disruption of current districts by preserving the cores of districts and protecting the historical continuity of voters with their districts and their chosen representatives. This protection of voters and their choices is critical to keep a process whereby the voters choose their representatives instead of representatives choosing their voters.

And, finally, there should be a standard about impermissible considerations. For instance, there could be a rule that districts shall be created so as to not to unduly favor or discriminate against any person or political party. Utah has adopted similar rules in the past.

The current redistricting process reduces the ability of voters to hold elected officials accountable and prevents "free trade" in the marketplace of ideas. Voters ought to choose their representatives instead of representatives choosing their voters. The political party in power should remain in power after elections if that's what the people want. But that outcome should not be pre-determined because of the process by which district boundaries are drawn. Let's have a balanced process in the drawing of district boundaries.

Edward Winslow Says:

"Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, Many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest King Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."

Benign: It must be Thanksgiving


I remember the day when my father told me that he had cancer. He was only 61 at the time and a year later he was gone.

Although four years have passed since his departure there are those moments, usually when I'm alone, where the memory of his untimely passing takes hold and reminds me how fragile we are and how important it is to spend time with the people we love.

When the lump on Michelle's thyroid was first discovered I knew that I needed to be strong for her sake, but to pretend that the fear of the worse case scenario has not had it's affect on my emotional state would simply be counterfactual.

My sweet wife has already suffered from an unusually high occurrence of basil cell carcinoma that has been so aggressive that she has gone under the surgeon's knife on five separate occasions, and has twice had to use a cream treatment that was effective in treating the cancer, but would for a short time make any person feel very insecure about appearing in public. For her to have to go through another cancer scare just seemed to be damn unfair.

Today Michelle called to let me know that the lump on her thyroid was benign. After I hung up the phone I went into my office and in a very private manner broke down.

It truly must be Thanksgiving.

Please enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday weekend.

With every best wish,

The Utah Amicus

Greg Curtis Says:

"I think there was some very negative campaigning that went on and there was a national frustration with Republicans. I do believe it trickled down into Utah," Curtis said. "And clearly, I have some constituents that are probably frustrated with me. I have to accept some of that responsibility."

Curtis, who has already been re-elected House Speaker by his colleagues, said winning by such a small margin likely would affect his influence in the Legislature.

"Obviously, as speaker this is probably the closest race that a sitting speaker has had, at least in my political memory," said Curtis.

Canvass gives Democrats seat in House


BROCK VERGAKIS - The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY -- Democrats picked up one seat in the Legislature following Tuesday's Salt Lake County canvass, but Republicans will still hold a super majority in both houses.

Rep. Carl Duckworth, D-Magna, won re-election by 33 votes following the counting of absentee and provisional ballots Tuesday. He had trailed Republican challenger Deena Detton Ely by 25 votes following the Nov. 7 election.

"We knew it was very close," Ely said. "I had been on pins and needles waiting on the official results. I knew it could go either way."

Any candidate can demand a re-count if the loss equals less than one vote for every precinct in a district. Because Ely lost by 33 votes and there are 29 precincts, she is ineligible. She said she's unsure whether she will run for office in the future.

"I think I'm still trying to absorb what's happened today. I'm not thinking that far ahead," she said.

Coupled with other Democratic victories, Republicans lost one seat in the 75 member House of Representatives.

That includes a win by Democrat Phil Riesen, a former television reporter, who was leading Rep. Susan Lawrence, R-Salt Lake City, by 103 votes following the general election. Tuesday's canvass shows that Riesen won by 216 votes.

However, Republicans still control 55 seats in the House and control 21 of 29 seats in the Senate.

Duckworth was one of several incumbents facing tight races. House Speaker Greg Curtis, R-Sandy, led Democratic challenger F. Jay Seegmiller by 46 votes following the Nov. 7 election.

After Tuesday's canvass, that lead was down to 19 votes. That's a small enough margin for Seegmiller to demand a re-count.

Seegmiller said Tuesday night he would be asking for a re-count.

"In a normal election I don't know that there would be much chance, but with these new machines we don't know what kind of glitches there might be," Seegmiller said. He has seven days to request a re-count.

Curtis said several factors led to such a close race.

"I think there was some very negative campaigning that went on and there was a national frustration with Republicans. I do believe it trickled down into Utah," Curtis said. "And clearly, I have some constituents that are probably frustrated with me. I have to accept some of that responsibility."

Curtis, who has already been re-elected House Speaker by his colleagues, said winning by such a small margin likely would affect his influence in the Legislature.

"Obviously, as speaker this is probably the closest race that a sitting speaker has had, at least in my political memory," said Curtis, who was first elected in 1994. "But with most of our colleagues, once you're sworn in on the first day ... your vote, your serving in the Legislature is not diminished in any way."

The State Board of Canvassers will meet to certify the results of statewide and multi-county races on Monday.

Salt Lake Tribune: Dems say GOP makes them feel like a fifth wheel



Fourth-district debate: Panel endorses three redistricting options, bars the proposal pitched by Democrats from the short list

By Glen Warchol

A legislative committee Tuesday advanced three proposals in carving a potential fourth congressional district into Utah before their meeting ended in a partisan dispute.

The redistricting plans will debut at a series of public hearings next week. The Legislature will approve one map on Dec. 1 to offer to Congress in hopes that Utah will finally get a fourth U.S. House seat.

The process crossed into controversy when Republicans barred a Democratic-drawn option from the public short list. The majority party's vote infuriated minority party committee members who say it puts the lie to Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.'s promise redistricting would be nonpartisan and open.

"I'm frustrated. It's the same old thing," said Rep. Jackie Biskupski, D-Salt Lake City, who walked out of the meeting immediately after Republicans rejected her party's plan as unworthy of public input. "They always say they want input from the Democrats. Why have Democrats on the committee if you are going to ignore what we have to say?"

Led by Biskupski, Democrats Rep. David Litvack and Sen. Gene Davis drew a map that would create a Democratic-leaning district in Salt Lake County and one district dominated by Republican-dominated rural Utah. The other maps, drawn by Republicans, offer an urban-rural population mix in every district.

Biskupski further complained that Republicans barred Democrats from participating in drawing the finalist maps. Instead, Democrats were banished to a separate computer-equipped "war room" to draw their map, she said. The only Democratic input came when Davis and committee Senate chairman Sen. Curt Bramble modified some Salt Lake County boundaries on one map.
"The governor said this was going to be a fair and nonpartisan process or he would use his veto," Biskupski said. ''He can't pretend this was nonpartisan.''

Later Tuesday, Bramble and committee House chairman Rep. Dave Clark, both Republicans, said they would try to get the Democrats' plan added to the list at the first public meeting.
Earlier in the day, however, Republicans roundly criticized the Democrats' plan. "It doesn't make sense. The way Salt Lake County is divided up, I think is terrible," said Sen. Chris Buttars, R-West Jordan, whose state senate district would fall into two congressional districts.
Sen. Sheldon Killpack, R-Syracuse, said representing a rural district stretching from the Four Corners in San Juan County to the Idaho-Nevada border in Box Elder County "would be a nightmare."

But Litvack argued that, if nothing else, the Democratic "Plan G," would allow the public to discuss the benefits in providing a congressional voice committed to rural Utahns. "This is the only map that is distinctly different from the others."

Lawmakers decided last week to pursue a fourth seat in the lame-duck session of Congress that begins Dec. 4. Utah's hopes are linked to a voting seat for the District of Columbia. The state's likely Republican seat would balance D.C.'s Democratic seat.

No party affiliation data was loaded in the computers and the committee banned discussing political issues at its meetings or with the staff - apparently to no avail.

"If you are going to take three plans on the road for public hearings that are the same and not include the option from the minority party, it's obviously a partisan process," Biskupski said.

See you in St. George


Christian Burridge and I arrived home late Sunday afternoon from the the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC) meeting that was held in the great city of Jackson Hole, Wyoming where DNC Chairman Howard Dean was applauded for his successful 50 State Strategy (as he should be) Friday afternoon.

Utah Democratic Chairman Wayne Holland Jr. and I are flying to St. George Monday morning to visit with the Washington County Democrats, and with the Democrats of Southern Utah.

I still haven't called Uncle Don Miller to see if I can stay at his house, but if not I am sure that Colt Smith will let me sleep in his garage.

Maybe I will run into Steve from Obiter Dicta.

When I return Tuesday I will share some thoughts and photos from each trip.

I wonder if they have pelicans in Southern Utah?

The Utah Repelican Party


When Abby first called her Republican Grandmother a Repelican I thought it was cute, but after much thought and consideration I have come to the conclusion that Utah's Republican Party would be well served by changing their name and mascot to something more eloquent.

Who wants to be a thought of as a stinky, fat elephant
when one could be seen as a beautiful, free flying pelican? The image of this magnificent bird flying around in search of fish, and other tasty morsels just leaves me in a state of blissfulness where I can hardly contain myself.

So here's the deal:

To all of those kind souls who are trying to persuade me that I could win in Davis County if I would simply put the "R" next to my name let me respond this way; if the Utah Republican Party will change their name to the Utah Repelican Party I will happily change sides and join your ranks tomorrow.

The Nancy Pelosi Lie


What were you really scared of Mr. Christensen, that this intelligent woman may actually have a higher IQ than you?

Utah Republican leadership has once again decided that breeding fear and hate is the key to success in Utah elections.

One of the disgusting tactics utilized by several Republican candidates this election cycle was the malevolent campaign against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Another reprehensible campaign used by Republican candidates was the "Democrats don't have a seat at the table so you need to vote for the Republican" campaign, aka the "it's not the person who matters, it's the Party" campaign. Both of these ill-natured campaigns are great indicators of the arrogance that Utah's current Republican leadership radiates and legislates by.

When we awoke on Wednesday morning our American world had changed. Nancy Pelosi will most definitely become the Speaker of the House, and Nevada Senator Harry Reid will become the new Senate Majority Leader. However, here in Utah many Utahns have again made the choice to close their eyes and vote for many Republican candidates that were not nearly as hardworking or as qualified as their Democratic opponents. While the nation decided to bring balance back to our Capitol, we decided to continue with our one-party system.

On another blog I read something that rang very true. Mitt Romney, a LDS Republican, was elected to the office of governor in liberal Massachusetts. If the liberal citizens of Massachusetts are so bad, why then were they open minded enough to vote in a qualified Republican? As I see it the good liberal citizens of Massachusetts must have taken a real look at who they thought would be the best governor, but here in conservative Utah, so many of us don't even take the time to find out who is running; we simply go to the polls and vote for whomever is running as the Republican.

We allow our Legislature to gerrymandering our districts. We allow our majority to ignore our minority. We close our eyes to those who would work in our best interest simply because they have a D next to their name, and we close our eyes to ethical issues both in our state and nationwide because it's okay to be a lawbreaker as long as you have the elephant by your side.

I'm damn glad that we have an intelligent and pragmatic Democratic leader like Nancy Pelosi in Washington, and I'm damn tired of listening to the conservative lie that our country will go to hell in a hand basket if she becomes the Speaker of the House. I will no longer listen to these lies, and I will not fear saying what I believe is true, that Nancy Pelosi is exactly what America needs, and that Utah is missing the boat when they don't even consider voting for anyone who doesn't have an elephant on their sign.

I am grateful to be a member of the Utah State Democratic Party. I am a better man because of my Democratic associations, and I will not allow others to scare me into hiding my belief in Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi.

I do not need to agree with everything someone believes or says to respect that person, and I need not fear that my respect for Nancy Pelosi is something immoral. I am grateful that she is in Washington to bring back the civility our nation so desperately needs, and I am grateful that we have a Democratic Congressman from Utah named Jim Matheson who will be working on the side of the majority Party, and not as a minority.

If there is any lesson we should learn from this last election it should be that citizens do have a choice, but only if they choose to exercise it by taking a closer look at all of the great candidates that run, not just those who simply say, "I am so and so and I am the Republican candidate...".

43


What is the significance of this number for Utah politics?

Uncle Don Says:


A riveting local story reported in the Spectrum. Rep. Dave Clark is named majority leader in the Utah House, thereby surpassing his mentor, Rep. Steve Urquhart. Rep. Urquhart then loses his leadership job as a result of Clark's victory. The unselfish Urquhart was instrumental in getting Rep. Clark appointed to a leadership job in the Legislature in the first place. However, the only thing that Dean Cox, chairman of the Washington County Republican Party, can think of to describe the accomplishments of these two legislative stalwarts is that during the floods they "both were the go- to guys that helped to arrange the $25 million emergency loan package from the state to the county." Amazing, they helped to get us a loan.

Never mind that the state is benefiting greatly from the taxes from the booming economy here, but neglecting educational opportunities here. Dixie State College operates on a state allocation that is one-third below other similar colleges in Utah and the bachelor degree attainment rate in Washington County is only 16 percent -- 75 percent below the national average.

Veterans Day 2006

THE HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY

November 11, or what has come to be known as Veterans Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor Armistice Day - the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislature that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.' As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.

In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the last Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971.

Finally on September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on November 11.

Celebrating Veterans Day

If the November 11 holiday falls on a non-workday — Saturday or Sunday — the holiday is observed by the federal government on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). Federal government closings are established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management; a complete schedule can be found here. State and local government closings are determined locally, and non-government businesses can close or remain open as they see fit, regardless of Federal, state or local government operation determinations.

United States Senate Resolution 143, which was passed on August 4, 2001, designated the week of November 11 through November 17, 2001, as "National Veterans Awareness Week." The resolution calls for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans.

New Blog Announcement: Father's Liberal Nature


Alma 1:30

And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were thirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.

The last couple of blogs I gave a hat tip to never truly gained any steam afterwards. I hope that this isn't the case for Father's Liberal Nature.

When I listen to people say the word liberal in a derogatory sense I wonder if they even know what a true liberal is, or what the word truly means.

If you go to lds.org's scripture search and put in the word liberal you can discover the true nature of the word.

Then put in the word conservative and see what happens.

Best of the Best
November 2006

This photo was taken of my campaign manager Derek Staffanson and his wife Sara in a Centerville parking lot just before a candidate meet and greet on October 26, 2006.

Derek has been invaluable to this campaign. It belongs to him as much as it belongs to me and to the citizen's of Davis County.

His wife Sara has also been terrific. She hasn't yelled at me once for any of my late night phone calls, or for driving her husband crazy. Sara has also been willing to share some constructive criticism after my speaking events. Both Sara's and Derek's feedback has helped me to become a more effective communicator.

I could go on and on about this great couple, but what I really need to do is just say THANK YOU!

I could not have made it through this without you, and I am grateful to both of you for being a part of this great adventure.

Congratulations Derek and Sara Staffanson, you have been selected as the Best of the Best for November on The Utah Amicus.

Volunteers make all the difference


Laurie Ellers (left) has done a great job as the Northern Campaign Coordinator for the Miller for Commission Campaign. The photo above was taken just a few nights ago when Laurie and her friend Taryn Barns helped me put signs up all over Syracuse, Kaysville, and Clearfield.

Laurie has also been an almost daily volunteer at Davis County Democratic HQ.

Laurie decided that she was a Democrat after taking a deep look at the issues. Laurie told me that there where two reasons she decided to become associated with the Democratic Party. The first was her belief that the Democratic Party was more in line with her LDS values. The second was that she could see that Democrats are quite simply more fun.

I want to thank Laurie and her friends, and all of the volunteers that have been so gracious with their time throughout this election cycle. It has made all the difference and I know I speak for all the candidates when I say THANK YOU for all you have done.

Todd Weiler's Donation to Richard Watson


The Real Story

On a earlier post titled Davis County Republican Chair endorses Democrat? I reported that Davis County Republican Chair, Todd Weiler had made a donation to Democratic Chair and House District 19 candidate, Richard Watson.

Here's the real story.

Mr. Weiler did send Mr. Watson a donation on Mr. Watson's Act Blue site, but what I did not reveal earlier was the amount of Mr. Weiler's donation, a whole dollar.

That's right, one big buckaroo.

After Act Blue took their share Mr. Watson received .87 cents. My guess is that it cost more money to print and send the check than the dollar would cover.

I hope Mr. Weiler has as good of a sense of humor as Mr. Watson does.

A few weeks ago I asked Mr. Weiler for his bio and invited him to be a contributor to The Utah Amicus. I received his bio which I hope means he will be sharing his thoughts with us from time to time. I will be posting his bio after the election so stay tuned to The Utah Amicus as we take the leap into bi-partisan territory.
