. Representative Carl Wimmer is the founder of The National Patrick Henry Caucus (PHC). The PHC is the premier state sovereignty caucus in the nation. This year due to the leadership of Rep. Wimmer and the PHC, the legislature passed all twelve state sovereignty bills and resolutions.
Among the legislation, was a bill that blocked the national take over of health care, removed federal restrictions on firearms made in Utah, and began the eminent domain process over federally controlled land.
Critics say that the cost to the state is too high to fight federal government encroachment. (Although, the health care take over will cost the state of Utah 300 million dollars annually.)
Do you believe that the cost to the state (1-2 million dollars to defend a supreme court case) is worth the benefit?
