Herriman has filed a suit challenging the Jordan split referendum.  All of the other JSD west side cities have either jumped ship (Riverton & Bluffdale) or decided to pursue their own split options (West Jordan & South Jordan). Herriman will have to overcome the presumption of constitutionality, a raft of case law on the issue that the AG has already discussed, establish standing (which is going to be difficult with just the referendum on the ballot and not passed), and overcome the countervaling constitutional arguments of taxation without representation and self-determination.
