Is anybody really surprised that UTA is living it up "on the taxpayers' dime"? Just look at the UTA board chair: Gregory H. Hughes. He is also Gregory H. Hughes, Republican majority whip in the Utah State House of Representatives.

The primary focus is to take tax dollars away from the public and into the pockets of themselves and their "friends." It appears that the Utah Legislature may be just as "corrupt" as the UTA board and the attorney general's office.
