    If you step down mid-term, should you have to pay for the special election?

    We saw Representative Chris Stewart step down after 6 months into his term, citing the health of his wife. A few years ago, Jason Chaffetz stepped down mid-term. Both of them went on to high paying jobs in the private sector. Whenever an elected official steps down midterm, should they be required to pay for the consequences? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests what they thought about that. Her guests this week include Susan Spiers, CEO of the Utah Association of CPAs and Heather Barney, long time government and communications director, now businesswoman.

Her guests this week include Susan Spiers, CEO of the Utah Association of CPAs and Heather Barney, long time government and communications director, now businesswoman.
