The Utah County Commission is suing Gov. Gary Herbert for refusing to appoint any of its nominees to a new board taking control of the Utah Transit Authority, with the goal of restoring trust in the scandal-tainted agency.
The new UTA Board, scheduled to be sworn in Monday, by law is supposed to have three members. Herbert has appointed only two, who were nominated by Salt Lake County and Davis County (in consultation with Weber and Box Elder counties).
Herbert refused to appoint either of the two nominees for the final slot sent by Utah County in consultation with Tooele County.
