When it comes to who wields the most political influence in the state, voters say it's the Legislature, not the governor or the courts. In fact, Utahns say the Legislature has more influence than the latter 2, combined, according to a recent poll.
That's what respondents in the latest Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll said, 51% of whom pointed to the Legislature as the state's most influential body.
In a closing letter to the Legislature, Cox said that there were several bills that he signed that, if he were still a lawmaker, he wouldn't have voted for — "However, that is not generally the standard for a veto. None of them have risen to the level of me feeling the need to override the will of a majority of legislators," Cox wrote.
The Legislature has long been viewed by advocates and academics as the most powerful governing body in the state — but Burbank said it was interesting that average voters also share that perspective. 44% said the Legislature is most influential, compared to 41% who said the governor, the most division of any group.47% said the Legislature is most influential, compared to 42% who said the governor.
