Rep. John Curtis may be happy in his new federal office, but the city of Provo is still causing him headaches.
As mayor of Provo, Curtis oversaw the recruitment, supervision and eventual resignation of Police Chief John King. King and the city are currently embroiled in a lawsuit brought by at least five women who allege King sexually harassed them.
Curtis oversaw the recruitment and hiring of King. Under his supervision, the city spent tens of thousands of dollars to retain an outside firm to conduct a nationwide search and perform background searches on potential employees.
