A Utah judge says the the attorneys general of both Utah and Arizona should look at forced disincorporation for the polygamist towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona.
That change in status would put the neighboring towns under county management.
Third District Judge Denise Lindberg suggested the action as a way to bring a halt to the lack of cooperation from elected officials and law enforcement.
The Utah court has managed the property trust of the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for almost two years. But officials and town marshals have not worked well with the court-appointed administrator for the United Effort Plan Trust.
The A-G’s office in Utah says it’s looked at challenging Hildale’s incorporation but decided not to act at this time.
Hildale and Colorado City are dominated by six-thousand members of the F-L-D-S church. Leader Warren Jeffs is awaiting trial in April in Utah on two counts of rape by accomplice, accused of arranging a marriage between an underage girl and her 19-year-old cousin.
