The charts showing who represents different districts are not correct. One shows Ed Mayne representing district 11, and Sen. Butters rep. district 5 a few years ago. That isn't correct. I tried to fix some of this information, but the whole list needs to be looked at. --Archf 1 (talk) 03:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Utah Legislative website Ed Mayne represented the 11th District from 1995 to 2002 and the 5th District from 2003 to 2007 when he passed away and his wife was appointed to replace him. In 2001 the Utah Legislature redistricted State Senate districts. This redistricting took effect during the 2002 election. It was at this time that Ed Mayne started to represent the 5th District and not the 11th. It's possible that District 11 covered the same geographical area as District 5 and only underwent a numbering change. If you aware of this please include it in this article and a 11th District article under a History section. See 1st Utah Senate District for an example. Edward Lalone | (Talk)
