The Utah governor's seat gets hotter.
Immigration bills' foes turn up heat | Deseret News: "Opponents of the "Utah solution" on immigration, a comprehensive approach lawmakers recently passed, are pushing back against the proposal. They're ramping up a variety of efforts, including robo-calls, a website, a petition, a boycott and potential legal challenges.
Meanwhile, Gov. Gary Herbert has not officially announced whether he'll sign off on the immigration law changes but has said he likes some of the ideas.
"As GOP delegates, we support the governor and everything he's done up until now," said Brandon Beckham, an organizer of the petition who is a state and Utah County GOP delegate. "If he signs this bill, I don't think he's going to muster enough delegate support to make it past convention.""
