A Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV poll conducted
before the 2006 Legislature convened shows
that by far most Utahans want their lawmakers
to declare if they have a conflict of
interest.
Pollster Dan Jones & Associates found
an overwhelming 93 percent of Utahans
want conflicts publicly declared.
Jones also found strong support —
88 percent — for having legislators
recuse themselves from voting on bills
on which they have a conflict of interest,
the early-January survey shows.
78 percent of Utahans favor the idea
of having newly elected legislators
take an ethics training class before
serving.
Tony Musci, president of Utah Common
Cause, said that overall Utah's conflict
of interest rules "are inadequate."
