Limited and Open Government

With the passage of SB 29 this legislative session, Utah’s “Truth-in-Taxation” law (first enacted in 1985) just got an upgrade. The bill, sponsored by Senator Chris Wilson, will help keep Utah residents informed when their local governments are proposing a property tax increase.

Utah farmers rejoice! With the passage of HB 31, sponsored by Representative Carl Albrecht, agritourism activities are now more viable.

If the market were free to build a variety of homes to meet the demand, we could end our housing shortage.

For Gov. Cox's plan to be successful, we don't necessarily need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars — we need local officials to address minimum lot sizes and other zoning regulations that make building starter homes very difficult. In short — legalize starter homes!
