Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill allows citizens to pursue a referendum on taxes imposed by local school boards.

Libertas supports this bill. Citizens can pursue a referendum on every other elected body in the state with the power to levy taxes, including the legislature. This gives Utah taxpayers the same right when dealing with local school boards.
