Utah Supreme Court takes up emergency appeal for West Hills election
West Hills town sponsor and real estate attorney Derek Anderson appealed to the Utah Supreme Court Oct. 17.
He’s arguing that 3rd District Court Judge Matthew Bates was wrong to block a vote on the town proposed between Kamas and Hideout weeks before the election.
Bates deemed parts of Utah’s incorporation law unconstitutional, while Anderson maintains the process he followed complies with the Utah Constitution.
His petition, filed with the state’s high court, says justices must “remove the cloud over the election” and allow votes to count.
