Gov. Gary Herbert’s two nominees to a new commission that will run the scandal-tarnished Utah Transit Authority vowed Monday to restore trust in it — including promising transparency, and avoiding big executive bonuses that caused controversy.
Meanwhile, Herbert is fighting with the Utah County Commission about who should be the third and final nominee to the new UTA board, scheduled to take over the agency by Nov. 1.
State law required the county commission to pick at least two people from which Herbert would nominate one for the UTA spot. Herbert rejected both, and wants more names.
