Amid eight-month long audit into South Salt Lake funding, Promise after-school program changes leaders

A before and after-school program in South Salt Lake has new leadership, amid an ongoing audit looking into questions raised last year about whether public funds were being diverted to Mayor Cherie Wood’s 2017 re-election campaign.

Kari Cutler — a city contractor who simultaneously ran the Promise South Salt Lake program and Wood’s political action committee (PAC), including through the 2013 election — said her decision to leave the program at the end of last year was unrelated to the audit.

“I will always believe that the good work finds a way, and am so grateful to have been involved in Promise South Salt Lake leadership for so long,” she said in an email statement to The Salt Lake Tribune.
