Looks like the Utah Office of Ethnic Affairs has found it suitable to use taxpayer funds to promote or oppose legislation:
Utah Office of Ethnic Affairs' Public Policy & Research page
Take a look at the "Legislative Issues" and "Fact Sheets" links.
Note: The fact sheets are essentially talking points for opposition
to the legislation related to their subject matter. The fact sheets
contain no neutral language but obviously promote an agenda (the
"Driving Privelege Card" may be the exception - it seems to stick
strickly to neutral factual information about how many cards have been
issued).
I've also saved some screen captures as a pdf file: Ethnic Affairs Legislative Issues and Fact Sheets
Of note, also is that, as I recall, this is the same office that launched the State's spanish site with the colors of the Mexican flag.
If you wish to, politely, make you feelings known about this the Governor can be reached at (801)538-1000
