I rarely follow state politics, because my voice is ignored.

Overdevelopment and overemphasis on business coming to Utah putting too great a demand on housing, traffic, and infrastructure..
A lot of out state people too fast and making a way of living to fast. Need more economic opportunities for local people.
Cost of healthcare and it’s accessibility.
Our state is beautiful, accessible, great economy, very good schools and parent participation in reading to kids, lots of things going well and very well, but please don't spend every dime people earn here to tax them, though we often have surplus in the tax coffers,  to make a gazillion walking trails.  They are helpful, but do not need to be everywhere.  This is not L.A. If there are overages, put it in a rainy day fund to grow interest while curbing new taxes please.
Not wasting time and money talking more refugees and use that time and money on the homeless and veterans.
I believe that when voting is done, Utah has no right to disregard what the people voted for. When the people speak, then that's qhar they wantwd.
Over growth, inland port and the illegal activity that is around it.
Not opposing the will of the people is a good start. If we have a public election on an issue ensure that it becomes the law and not attempt to alter the original bill or disrupt it's passing
Climate change and water usage. Environmental impacts
Too much high density housing. Even it is too expensive for regular folks to purchase.
Lowering property taxes, health care, and clean air
Uncontrolled growth along the Wasatch Front. I have contacted the Governor and Lt.Gov. Cox and neither have a good response to the problem. We are turning into a mini LA situation with horrible air pollution, increasingly bad traffic, increased crime, overcrowded cities and schools, increasing costs to taxpayers, worsening mental health, loss of 'green grow' open space, etc. More of the population needs to be funneled to rurals areas of the state and the State needs to help build the infrastructure needed to lure business to these areas (i.e. airport, transportation, water, utilities). Otherwise, the Wasatch Front will no longer be a desirable place to live!
Drug enforcement & rehabilitation, homeless,

The state legislature not listening to the public
The Rebublicians.  Abortation issues.  There are many, many babies that are aborted every year. If the abortation laws are too strict and a abortation is not available, are these babies going to be raised by the american people or are they just going to get lost in the system?

Economic growth, both business and residential
The senior citizens can't keep up with the rising costs of taxes (all taxes-mainly property taxes). The people I have talked to are or have tried to do a reverse mortgage just to pay there taxes! I looked into it thru AAG. They wanted 10,000 just to start the process, then another 19,000 based on my homes value + a 700.00 fee for an appraisal, that's 26,000 just to get a loan to keep up with my taxes! That'!s BS!

The budget is 300% higher than 5 years ago. Too much spending. Taxes in all areas could be lower.
Adequate schools and teachers girl our growing population
Re-do tax reform, I am all for expanding taxes on more services and sales but food should not be taxed at all. Anything that is required for a person to live a healthy life should not be taxed. Privileges or choices are welcome to be taxed.
over expenditure on education common core
Congestion & the influx of refugees & migrants to this state. Quality of life is going way down + crime!!
Stop trying to raise taxes for example in having to do with our school systems and business. School funds need to be left to the schools and tax breaks for businesses are more than crucial to maintain our cost of living.

Not listening to the citizens of this state - Prop 2, Tax Bill, etc
The Down right diss-respect tords Ameraica and Athoritarian Ajenda taught in the school systems. By only alowing certin subjects but not others.

Environmental erosion resulting from a lack of corporate oversight and state sponsorship of big polluters
Government growth and use of tax dollars.
The shortage of low-income housing. I have a college student and two more students soon to be in college and it’s unrealistic to have them move out and live on their own. There isn’t affordable housing available.
Growth needs to be much better managed, air quality, health care, ridiculous definition of low income housing,  real affordable housing in desperately needed.

Repeal the bullshit tax law that was recently passed on food and fuel
Stop the rapid increase in high density housing
Republican gerrymandering and control/ LDS separation of Church and State
The lack of accurate, TRUTHFUL information about policies and law.  For examples:  forcing citizens to subsidize business (data centers), or interfering with the marijuana legalization efforts.
LDS Church influence in politics and public policy
The Mormon church runs this state through their members in politics. It’s wrong. Separation of church and state needs to happen. Herbert is also knee deep in kissing up to the church.
Oppose Trump and take care of poor immigrants

raising taxes, control over DABC, non legalization of recreational marijuana, shrinking of national monuments
Maintaining growth while still balancing quality of life
Housing prices, standard of living for the majority of Utahns
There is still a huge epidemic regarding healthcare and health education. We need to be teaching young people about sexual education so they know how to prevent pregnancy and STIs because expecting them to be abstinent is causing a rise in disease and unwanted pregnancy. We are also facing an opioid epidemic due to prescribing them too often and not having viable alternatives like medicinal marijuana. There are a lot of issues facing Utah right now, but in my personal opinion, I believe those need to be fixed.
Manage population growth and the infrastructure.
Roads- we don’t have the infrastructure for the population

Tax reform is a shell game.  Very very disappointed in the way this was rolled out.  Propaganda and lies.
Housing crisis in Utah. Not only low income, but the income of those above what is considered low income, yet still priced out or unable to find/afford housing. Shouldn’t have to live far below what’s considered low income just because you’re entire check is going to pay for your housing.
Air pollution is killing us. Some days Ogden has been tagged as having the worst air in the country
Population growth and homelessness problem
Our neighborhoods are being over run by massive apartment complexes with no concern for impact on our quality of life. Only fattening the wallets of the Mormon Church / cult. The schools are over funded and under preforming. They are not under funded, but poorly run. I find it disgusting we have tax increases saying it is “for the children”, when it has NOTHING to do with “children”!!!! School CHOICE is urgently needed. My family has the choice of a title one school or private school. We scrimp and save to send our children to private schools, as the pollution pumped into indoctrination of children at a public school is not an option. And support our president for God’s sake.
Illegal immigration using resources and not being held to the same accountability as law abiding citizens.
Keeping public lands protected and in public hands

Maintaining religious freedom and conserving a moral atmosphere among the residents of the state.
Managing growth to preserve quality of life
Unrestricted growth, our rents are skyrocketing, our air is horrible, and our infrastructure is crumbling.
the Economy drives everything. That is a universal truth. The biggest issue we have is the inability of the two parties to come to a consensus because of the political fear from extreme but vocal factions in each party.  This atrocity of a tax bill they just passed is an example. Trying to sell it as a tax break while taxing food and gas is preposterous. If Democrats can’t stomach it you shouldn’t try to ram it through. There needs to be some common ground.
Homelessness, the fact that the church has 100 billion extorted dollars and helps no one. Climate change is here as well.
Managing future growth, both with infrastructure, but also affordable housing.
The biggest issue is the tax reform that was passed. I don’t see the benefits for it.

Republican establishment weak---socialist democrats in charge of SLC

Taxes are too high and wages are too low.

End the Church's involvement in government
traffic infrastucture and or air pollution
Education funding-I think a "head tax" would be a good idea, State legislature belief that they have all the answers,  i.e. medical marijuana, recent tax bill. Basic necessities should not be subject to food tax.

Growth, and the growing pains that come with it
Getting ahead of social issues facing Utah from changing technologies and demographic change.
Respecting trucks on the road. I have a lot of input on this subject
Air quality- as a government employee, I would like more motivation and incentives to ride public transportation. I try to bring it up and it get shut down. I like what the health department is doing about working more from home. I have major lung issues at a young age and every doctor has told me it is related to air quality.
Affordable housing and lower taxes on everyday living costs
Lazy people.  Why in the world would you pass a law that rewards generational poverty. It's bad enough that one generation doesn't get off their ass and go to work, but multiple generations.  Quit trying to get votes by handing lazy people money and do what's right by those lazy people by making them go provide for themselves and by everyone else as well.
State govt must quit looking for ways to raise taxes while wasting existing . Also the state needs to get out of the liquor store business a d soon to come medical marijuana.  Private enterprise can run liquor stores and 2 story liquor stores are absurd.
The majority of Utahns voted for legalization of cannabis yet the legislature and Governor eviscerated the will of the people. This sets a dangerous slippery slope of a precedent for literally everything that Utahns vote for in the future. We shouldn't have a Republic. We should have a true Democracy where the people's vote is respected and honored by the government. The way things run are now is shameful to the utmost degree!
Public Lands debate' Keep public lands in public hands.  Do not sell off our public lands to thenextraction industries.

Education- funding it, class size, attracting people to the profession
Raising taxes by false means. Lying about what they will do and how collected.
Unrestricted growth in the Northern and Southern Wasatch front in unsustainable. We only have so much water and land area before we run out of each.
the way the government can override anything that the public votes for, why vote?? They go in and redo the bills to read the way they want them to anyway, they have taken the power of the vote and done away with it. Its all a scam....
Growth I am tired of having to conserve water useage and all the building and growth going on. Where is the water coming from? Then we sell water to Nevada and California? Wow what’s wrong with this picture???
Healthcare/prescription drug prices for mid to low income
Decrease government spending. Finding better deals instead of just giving out projects to donors.
lack of medical care for some segments of the population
The super majority of LDS legislators on the state.

More funding and support for public education (k-12)
Raising the alarm over the national debt
Becoming too liberal. Inviting too many people to Utah which causes infrastructure problems and a liberal, left-leaning populace.
To be honest, I don’t know enough to give a good answer. But one thing that has always bothered me is the discrepancy between the poor and the rich. Though that is a hard question to answer

Protection of our natural areas from extractive industries and stopping the vapping ban

Growth. Whether it is attracting and retaining businesses or population and the concerns that it brings.
Allowing the high density housing to be built all over the salt lake valley.

2A rights, LGBQT ISSUES, CITIZEN VOTED ON RIGHTS
I’m a Republican and I’m disgusted with the elected officials from this state that are siding with or silent to the actions of the President. I’m so disgusted that I’ve removed my registration with the Republican Party. It will take me years, if ever, to vote for another Republican. If Donald Trump is the best the Republican Party can give us as an option for President, I want nothing to do with this Party.
Taxes are almos as out of control as government spending.  The peoples voice is all but gone, big brother will do waht they want no matter how we vote.

Stop trying to become California. Conservative values of what served Utah and brought it to where it is!
Education and Air Polution, (start by timing stop lights)
One-party state with Republican/religion advantage over democrats
The growth and the new tax laws.  For those of us that are on Social Security, this will only hurt us.  We will not see the annual tax credit and it looks like the only ones will benefit will be those who are the wealthiest.  It hurst the poor, because even though the will receive a tax credit, what are they supposed to do?  Save this in an account so that every time they go to the store they can draw from it to pay the increased taxes on their food bill?  Doesn't make sense.
Clean and efficient resource use and conservation
Legislature changing/passing laws in special elections
I feel the greatest issue in Utah is a concern of who is running the government and influencing policy.  I feel the LDS church has way too much power in politics!

Do away with tax on food, stop taxing senior citizens retirement i.e. Social Security, remind all levels of government in Utah; City, county, state that they work for the constituents, and geographical area they represent, not the other way.
A state economy hugely leveraged on fossil fuels. This will become less and less viable in the future.
Education: Funding & Support for Educators
dramatic shift in politics.  I don't know if we've had a large influx of out-of-state move-ins, but my ancestors fled (most at the cost of their lives) the liberal agenda in the east more than a hundred years ago, and now they've followed us here and are forcing their beliefs and views on my kids in our schools without our consent.
Impact of  growth and condition of infrastructure

too many people moving in without housing  available
The bulk of the citizens with children not paying a fair share of education and other cost.

Explosive growth and the related problems of transportation, air quailty, home prices.
Public education. No one can spell here. Really frustrating that highschool students aren’t familiar with the basic outline of a paper. Intro, thesis, body paragraphs, conclusion. The list is endless and embarrassing! We are doing our children a huge disservice
Undo the recent changes to the tax code.
Taxing social security and retired people

At this moment it's the food tax we are being tax to death.
Dumb tax give aways raiding the education fund and then re-introducing tax on food hurting the lower incomes of the state, and hurting education. Population growth and not managing it well.
Education of K-12 - keeping it under local control instead of federal mandate
Economic stability with regard for severe needs of citizens and the environment
Economic growth to fund education and transportation needs
Rapid growth and inability to have affordable housing for younger couples
Expansion of poor housing brings low skilled workers and undercuts Utah teens/native unskilled workforce. Keep Utah devoid of low income housing to keep home values high and crime rates low. -23-year-old Utah native with MPA

Cost of living without wage improvements; utah becoming too expensive and many will be forced to leave because of jobs that don't pay well enough

The intersections of fossil fuel use, air quality, public health and climate change.
Over taxing the regular people, not taxing the rich enough, or a flat tax across the board.
Our infrastructure projects are not keeping up with our population growth
Water rights:  too many granted, not enough water.  Let's re-allocate now.
Not completely legalizing marijuana - the way it is set now there are not enough doctors out there that will prescribe a medial card. There is also the issue of taxing food - how the politicians of Utah were trying to back door this tax increase is beyond insulting.
The tax bill passed at the end of 2019 needs to go

The ridiculous tax bill that was pushed through by the Republican house using threats and force towards fellow legislators
The tax increase needs to be repealed and red flag laws should never be an option
We are being taxed way too much as it is and all they seem to do is to want to raise taxes. I barely get by now.
Losing interest from some of the population in family values.  Many other things hinge on the values.
Lack of affordable housing and air quality
Growing population and no getting the adequate infrastructure to accommodate the actual demand
The growing big government, socialist ideology that is taking hold in the people of utah. Perhaps without even realizing what it’s all about and how it comes about. Because it really is not about the good for the people but rather the rich and powerful. They are the ones that benefit from socialism. Romney is clearly a socialist
Population growth and infrastructure issues
Manage explosive population growth- roads  & infrastructure
Laws that we vote yes on and government changes to suit them
There is no single issue. OUr State Government is filled to the brim with RINOs. Utahans, apparently, LOVE voting for LIBERAL Republicans. The end result is like this bogus "tax cut and reform". Maybe we need to reintroduce Constitution and Government Studies in to the K-12 schooling system? Maybe that might help fix the problem? I'm not sure. But for the Governor to sign that tax fiasco was just proof that they really don't have our best interests at heart. They are NOT listening to "The People" and they aren't representing us. Government for the sake of Government is bad. I've got lots of ideas how to fix it. However, the government will never change itself. It has become entrenched in pretend power stolen from the People... and it will never willingly give that up.
Increasing student engagement in education
Idiot legislators who ignore the will of the people and spend time on asinine things like banning CONDOMS.
This is a very difficult question because there is so much to do! I think education is key to pull it all together. We need to be more fair in how education is delivered and paid for through salaries and support for our teachers. It needs to be diverse so that students can learn and accessible to everyone.
Creation of east-west highway at south end of valley between I-215 and Bangerter highway.
Air quality is a big issue that the governor must prioritize. Healthy citizens should be #1.
Preparing young Utahans for jobs of the future with adequate education/funding; and, by matching skills development to jobs available.
Appropriate planning for the significant growth occurring within our state.
They need to stop raising the taxes take the church out of the government and bring in some sort of Lottery and the tax revenue generated from that alone would lower income tax and help the middle-class and lower-class keep some of their hard-earned money in their pockets to spend in the economy which then would make the economy better all the way around
The new tax reform policy is set to impose requirements on our educational program, and many of those requirements are not beneficial. He needs to be more insistent that tax reform efforts don't impose requirements on the educational system. Requirements on our educational system should be submitted as their own bills.
Growth and planning for the well-being of Utah in the future
Managing growth while maintaining freedoms and small government
Education - Find a way to balance funding with higher ed and secondary ed. At least higher ed can charge tuition while secondary doesn't. Homeless Population - Can we figure out a street to job system?
High quality education at all levels and for all kinds of people
Getting the Mormon cult out of our state politics. That would be a great start !
Make taxes simple and low. Send me/my household  a bill at the end of the year of what they think I owe the state in government.
All groups get behind pres.trump and help move this country forward and stop hindering everything trump does. Help with suggestions not complain about everything being done by trump
Continue to do all things necessary to improve the Utah economy
Taxes, taxes, taxes!  Utah places too many taxes on the people!
1- Taxes on food, property, income, wealth. 2- Poverty 3- Education 4- Medical cost
Really aligning an ethical fiscal stewardship when it comes to education and taxes. The monies in the state are present possibly what we need to be looking at is moving to a one state school board instead of a different school board for all 47+ districts. Better pay and retirement for law enforcement.
population growth and pollution - inland port - taxes
The constant increasing of taxes by the state legislature
There’s so many issues where do I start? I used to love my state but I’m becoming increasingly disenchanted. Housing is a huge concern. Of course homeowners love the equity they’re gaining but younger people are being priced out completely and unable to afford even a humble place to rent. Homeownership is becoming more difficult and all the multi-famiky tiny condos going up are ruining our landscape. Our state is becoming incredibly overcrowded and planning is never considered until it’s a complete disaster of a problem.
Making sure that the money in the funds gets to the proper place, for example to fund education
I’m concerned with the Marijuana laws. I don’t our state becoming like Colorado.
Supporting president trumps immigration plans
The lack of support, equality, and fairness for law enforcement salary and benefits including retirement
Growth and how to best manage it. (It dominoes into several issues: transportation, water, affordable housing, traffic, etc)
Transparency regarding the separation of church and state
The lack of pay increase for state employees and the amount of government owned land in Utah. 2nd amendment rights needs be protect from federal overreach.
We don't need to bring any more refugees from places that don't share the same values that America was founded on.
We need to better update our liquor laws.  There has been some improvement but we need to go a lot further in order to compete with states like Colorado.  We have better skiing facilities but we lose a lot of people due to our laws that are so outdated compared to other states.
Unity within the country. Politicians need to work together for the people they represent.
I feel it is the number if homeless as well as the number of mentally ill homeless. We need a better solution for how and where they get housing and that the ones in need of help mentally are able to receive that help so they we wouldn't see so many being homeless. Not all like being homeless and those who want help can receive it and get out of the shelters making them being less crowded. Some of them truly do? Any help so they can be independent again and have steady income again.
Why does Utah still have coal powered power plants?
Air Quality, Housing, Opioids, Infrastructure, Homelessness
Substance use, addiction, homelessness, mental health
Money being placed over people. Human rights issues.
New food tax law. I have 6 kids and a huge grocery bill each month. This new law rewards highest earners, and punishes working class with large families. What a joke
That the legislature can overrule the voters' decisions. The issues that we vote on, were the legislature to support our choices, would be better resolved. At least we'd have more discussion on the things that matter to us.
house prices are going way up. having more options for housing would really help with that. they dont have to be full home but more renting space would help. making it easier for contractors/investors to build would help or lowering interest rates for loans for rental properties be providing incentives for lenders.
Connection between parties, people, politics.  Less divide.
Population and growth, housing and development. Lack of protection for Utahs natural resources.
invasive goverment control on all levels which is ruining the economy and freedom under the Constitution
too much emphasize on growing business in utah
Repealing the latest tax on food, gas. Etc.
Affordable housing I mean really affordable housing what people that don't have the kind of money quality unbiased like $1,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment
Political fairness in Utah and to much influence by the LDS church
stop fix one thing and screwing up other thinks, it not all about the money
The power The Sutherland Institute, Eagle Forum and other extreme conservative groups have compared to their numbers. When the citizen majority speak (which includes Republicans) and the far right disagrees -- the far right usually wins. Having a super majority means doing what the party tells you to do not the constituents.
Increasing food taxes, it hurts too many people.
I think education remains our biggest challenge.
Access to affordable healthcare when you need it and where you need it
Getting federal government out of decision making with regards to federal lands in Utah.  Less federally mandated laws.  More done at the local level.
A Utah legislature that is unresponsive to the voice of the people of Utah
Not altering the tax base...The one they are voting on now
Pay attention to other government agencies and employees other than education most of the time.
The rise off taxes, that will cover the loss of income in other areas. I feel that our government is trying to tax everything they can, knowing that if we legalized other things it would generate more income than the state could account for. Instead they are harming the minority of the state by raising taxes. I can’t afford food now, let alone if the taxes are raised.
Growth and its effects/ Education Transportation etc

Increased air pollution , transportation and canyon recreation
Reduce spending. Eliminate sales tax on food.

We are not doing enough to protect air quality in the valley, and we are not doing enough to protect resources in Southern Utah. Stepping it up re: protecting our air and lands/environment in a way that is commercially viable
Taxing families who have little money and lots of children i.e. Gas, food,home taxes. Pop. Increase =lots more money for Utah Quit being so greedy.
The Mormons and Trump supporters and the awful hybrid of both.
Overpopulation tied to limited resources and pollution control.
The leniency and tolerance of those who violet the laws. Need stronger efforts in preserving the culture of Utah.
High cost of college, low salaries for teachers, an outdated education model. An overhaul of the education system could be beneficial for everyone. We also need better mass transit and for it to be AFFORDABLE! It costs too much right now, it's not worth it. We need transportation to be cheap.
Healthcare for low income and disadvantaged people.
We definitely should NOT be a sanctuary city
keep raising taxes and fees.  Keep spending inline with intake.

Lack of affordable housing. And envirinment
Infrastructure for state growth not keeping up with population and job growth.
The influence of the dominant religion and the paternalistic attitude of the elected people towards the rest of us. For example, raising taxes on the food just shows that they ae beholden to other interests, the air is not any cleaner, that's another example.
HB 239 no accountability for offenders. Communities are not safe. Djjs are skewing their recidivism numbers. This affects communities and victims. This will flood the adult system which will have even smaller prison

Rising costs of housing vs unmoving minimum wage.
The citizens of Utah voted and passed Prop 2 but the Utah Legislatives completely rewrote it and are making it so much more difficult for patients to get the medicine they deserve and need.
The voters vote...the legislature comes along and changes...Props 1 & 2.  Know they are going to mess with redistricting.
Taxing people higher due to the influx of move ins, I feel those moving should pay for extra, not those that have paid for multiple schools, or state, or county buildings, also where a person has appraised a property for 5 times as much as its worth, should the people be held liable for that mistake?  I think not...
Over Regulation and Taxation of small businesses especially Trucking
High cost of health insurance and prescription meds
Education - too top heavy, funding is NOT reaching the classroom!!!

will not even look at legalizing gambling to cover tax shortfalls because his church is against it. Yet many many of them go to Nevada every weekend
Unprecendented growth that we are unprepared for in terms of our infrastructure, meaning roads, water, pollution, high-density housing, and public transit.

Growth and the effect it has on resources
The housing issue and the cost of living rising. There needs to be safety and security for all people regardless of how much money they make. The average price of a housis 400,000. No one in a normal job will ever be able to own a home. More affordable healthcare and daycare.

Our representation is very one sided.  More diversity is needed for Utah
Taxes are way unfair property taxes which are payable every year is nonsense!!
Medical EVERYTHING/issues. Including needing to fix all the issues with making medical marijuana accessible for those in needs.
Income tax increase that is progressive, wealthier pay greater percent of income
Our moral compass, and rational resoning on topics. Where did the subject of debate go? We are so partisan these days that its makes me sick. We need to talk out tough issues and give concessions from both sides.
The legislature altering bills that have been passed by the people. Passing bills that favor the popular religious group in our state
Breathable air , water , misuse of taxpayer funds to corporations, heathcare for all
The stupid tax plan, also the Inland Port (It will do more harm than good to our state)
Environmental protection and mass transit
Not listening to or concerned about Utahns
Cutting funds to Public Education in Utah, especially K-12. They should not cut any funds.

Getting taxes down.  It seems like we have democrats running this state, our taxes just keep going up
Managing the fantastic growth that is occurring
Always where to spend the tax money.  Schools?  Roads and other structures?  I am not sure of all the places.
Stop supporting the extremely abhorrent behavior of Donald Trump.planning for population growth.
Completely remove the state income tax from all retired persons receiving Social Security. 2.  Education Public education is for those who are not attending private schools such as charter schools. End the vouchers for these private schools and put the funds back into public schools. 3. Politicians who keep raising taxes on all of us. The sneaky way to increase taxes show that these elected officials are truly liberals and not conservatives’ 4. The huge gap between the white collar and blue collar workers wages. Because of this spouses have to work to make ends meet. This no one is home when the kids come home from school. 5.  Loss of compound interest on saving accounts. 6. Overcrowded freeways 7. Allowing new developments for housing tha do not have road planning to move traffic more effectively. Too bad and sad the block system with through roads planned as was first implemented in Utah towns. Instead we have quagmires Such as Day Break. 7. Rising property taxes. This is disastrous for retired persons on fixed incomes! 8. Hospital, doctor, dental, and prescription drug costs!!!!! 9. Homeless people 10. Children who lack enough food. 11. Abused people, young and old.
Establishment Republicans took advice of DNC and forcibly passed SB-54 to change nominees for office from conservatives to progressives, and it has succeeded in doing this. It is an assault on the Constitution and the individual's right (or as collective) to choose the people they support, campaign for and vote for, taking power from the people and placing it in the hands of the State. Should be repealed and new, legitimate elections held.
Too much growth too fast.  Slow down with all the tech companies moving here.
The legal appropriation of funds and federal tax money.
Public education, more staff, better pay, less standardized testing.

Over population, food tax, the natural beauty of the skyline is diappearing, and nature and natural habitats being relpaced with encrocchment of population and crowding out by using up all the land for massive apartments, warehouses, etc. Huge and Big corporations like Amazon beging inticedto come here by being told they do not have to pay any taxes and therefore we are having to and will continue to have us Utahns and especially the middle class, have their taxes increased to compensate for for the corporations NOT HAVING TO PAY ANY TAXES.
The changes that will be made in the future with mandatory vaccinations
Infrastructure planning and environmental concerns
That we do not believe it is possible to have a politician with values and morals that match our ideals

The fact that our air quality is horrendous and Republicans ignore the issue.
Taxes are out of control and our road suck
Transportation could use improvement, public transportation in Utah county specifically is not quite enough. Better roads planned ahead of time to accommodate Utah’s growing population
Voting in a good honest, didicated governor.
enoforcing laws that should not be in place, people should have more freedom in some areas where laws don't allow such individual. I understand the government wants whats best for us but we should have the freedom to make our own choices
Growth and the money to fund it.  Are there areas that are wasting money
Keeping the ecconomy strong so the regular tax structure can keep up with the needs of the state, without rasing taxes. Raising taxes is very detrimental to the ecconmy of the state. I would support a new tax to fund certain new projects, like the water infrastructure project like the Lake Powell pipeline.

Lack of school funding and social/mental health services
air quality sucks; climate change is happening

Handling the growth in Utah properly and preparing for it
Don’t tax food...tax luxury items or junk food...things people don’t have to have to survive.
The fact that there is power of the church in this state and that this state is still withholding things in life that people should be able to experience and isn’t trying to grow Utah out in a good way we keep trying to pull in more and more citizens to Utah and all we do is build housing there’s so many other problems created from that that Utah doesn’t fix or not fast enough they don’t even take care of their own citizens good enough that’s the biggest issue how can the state issue a prop 2 and the people finalize it and they turn around and change it to a different document with completely different views? Doesn’t matter if it was from the church or not that right there shows they don’t have the people in their minds and that the citizens of Utah can’t even trust their own state. This state as well as the rest need to enlighten themselves and if we have to take an economical hit Or anything for that matter just so we can become a fit state that actually helps their people and other people we shouldn’t be having to deal with half the matters we do because people are so selfish and only think what they thinks for the best of the people or themselves we still have the flint Michigan water crisis for fucks sake? That’s been going on for what a decade? And not one state or America in general gone to completely demolish that situation? How can we expect to discern problems when we can’t even help our own people.
There are many, I would like to see public lands addressed - keep those safe, air quality and educationn.  While not a great issue - would love to see our liquor laws changed to be more relevant and current - the are antiquated.
Planned growth for schools and infrastructure
Separation between church and state. Raising taxes for middle classes such as gas tax. Bringing in the lottery system could fix many problems we face in Utah such as homelessness, roads, school systems
Schools, and teachers pay.  Upgrade education!
Handling population growth in the next decade
