Bill to stop Utah State Income tax donations to political parties

Rep. John Dougall, R-Highland is sponsoring a bill to present in the 2012 Legislative
Session to stop the option for a person to donate to a political party through the state
income tax form.

"In 2010 taxpayers chose to send $127,950 to political parties in the state. Utah County
parties received about $8,200 of that money. The Utah County Democratic party
received $1,388, and $6,138 was distributed to the county Republican party.
The remaining money was distributed to the smaller parties in the county."   Billy
