I recently presented my proposal to reform Utah's court systems to the Judiciary Interim Committee. The presentation went well except for the time constraints which limited input from the public on the issue. Here is the document presentation I gave the committee:
At the conclusion of my presentation, and in reference to the brightly colored charts, Senator Mark Madsen who is Vice Chair of the committee, said " I don't know Rep. Peterson very well. But based on this presentation, I could't tell if you are an attorney, an economist, or an interior decorator." I almost took offense. Nobody has ever accused me of being an attorney before.
You can listen to the entire presentation including a rhetorical rebuttal by the Administrator of the Courts against the proposal. While his rebuttal was spirited, he did not offer any alternative solutions to the problems discussed in the presentation. Here is the video (audio only):
The committee was mostly receptive to the idea but again time constraints prevented us from getting into the dollar figures debating idea thoroughly. We are on November's agenda to discuss the issue further and give the public time to comment.
