Dysfunction junction
We can name it "Speaker's Legacy Station."Thanks to the intervention of then-House Speaker Greg Curtis, an ancient archeological site in Draper was snatched from preservation and will instead have a UTA train stop-retail development built on top of it.
If you recall, Curtis intervened with the Department of Natural Resources for a client from his day job as a development lawyer. ("I'm calling not as Speaker Greg Curtis, but as attorney Greg Curtis.")
Now, of course, his old buddies in the state House have approved the deal, pretending the 3,000 year-old artifacts will be protected. But archeologists and opponents of the deal, including Rep. Janice Fisher, say that's not true.
We're relying on the good will of [the Utah Transit Authority]. I'm very worried about this process.Considering how this deal got done, we all ought to be worried about "this process." I wonder what Curtis' fee was.
