Commentary: Hughes should resign from port authority board
Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune House Speaker Greg Hughes, R-Draper facilitators of the Utah Safe Schools Commission unveiled several recommendations the commission is considering to improve campus safety, Wednesday, June 20, 2018 during a press conference at the Utah Capitol. It was heartening to see Speaker Greg Hughes adamantly argue in favor of following the letter of the law during the stalled first meeting of the Utah Inland Port Authority earlier this week. His willingness to “debate this right now” with Gov. Gary Herbert over ambiguities in the board’s conflict of interest requirements was a signal that Hughes wanted to get the inland port started on the right side of the law.
