"It's been less than two months since the board defied the Legislature and the state attorney general by refusing to establish a school voucher program based on a bill designed to augment the original voucher bill, which was being contested. And the board's decision not to implement the questionable law has been vindicated by the Utah Supreme Court, which, in light of a successful petition drive to give voters a chance to repeal the original bill, wisely ruled that the Nov. 6 referendum would decide the fate of both bills.
But that may not stop the control freaks with the bruised egos in the Legislature from trying to exert their authority over the school board, and exact a measure of revenge next year. Already, a move is afoot to prepare bills that would strip the board of its power by allowing the governor to appoint the state superintendent of public schools, and to politicize the board by allowing political parties to choose state school board candidates."

Only a matter of time...they brought it on themselves.
Well..so much for Utah ... I'm off to Maine on vacation.
Ya, don't bow down to a bully and they change the rules. The board has not brought this down on themselves. It is the arrogance of a facist legislature.
