"An election year is a good time for people to reform government with their vote," said Wilson.>
Just as the vehicle scandal was beginning to wind down, news broke that Salt Lake District Attorney David Yocom was looking into Workman's hiring practices regarding two staffers who work for the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Valley. Yocom conducted an investigation and turned over the decision to a panel of four other county attorneys (or their representatives). The panel announced Wednesday it found sufficient evidence to charge Workman with two felonies. Yocom is to say Tuesday if he will actually file those charges.
"They need to tighten down the screws and make sure it doesn't happen again," Wilson said. The county, he says, needs to retain its watchdog responsibility.
"People who get sucked in let their ego and money get the best of them," Bradley said. "We need to see that issues like this don't happen again."
