The Utah Supreme Court will decide if Amendment D will be on the November ballot.But based on questions the justices asked during a hearing on Wednesday, they were skeptical about the legislature's arguments that it should be reinstated.
'The question I think the court has to answer is it OK if it’s going in the e-edition of The Salt Lake Tribune instead of the weekly or bi-weekly edition.'Meehan argued that online publication and a flood of local news coverage also provided ample notice to voters of what's being considered.'There’s no question that the legislature did not cause it to be published in the newspapers two months before the election,' Justice Diana Hagen pushed back.
