Both spots on Utah's ethics commission meant to be held by members of the public appear vacant on the website, as does one intended for a former judge.
Both spots on the commission meant to be held by members of the public appear vacant on the website, as does one intended for a former judge.
The two active members are former deputy commissioner of financial institutions and associate general counsel to the Utah Legislature Gary Doxey — who is serving as chair — and Gordon Topham, a former Sevier County commissioner. Although commission members are appointed by the governor, the ethics commission is independent of the executive branch. And, by statute, making appointments requires the cooperation of all five elected officials in the branch.
“They didn’t have any complaints before — I was talking to their chairman and they didn’t have anything that they were reviewing — so I don’t know why the big concern is out there when their chairman says we haven’t had any complaints,” Mower said. Atwater, who manages the commission’s administrative needs and accesses the email inbox with a personal computer, said not having a dedicated mailbox or phone number to receive sensitive complaints is “not ideal.”
