The inevitable result of too much power

SALT LAKE CITY – The chairman of the Democratic Party of Utah responded Wednesday to a report from the Utah State Auditor that found several misuses of public money at the Mountainland Applied Technology College, most of which illegally benefited former campus president Robert Brems and the Utah Republican Party.

“When you have had unchallenged power in place for too long, arrogance and abuse of power is the inevitable result,” said Wayne Holland, chair of the Utah Democratic Party. “That’s especially the case with Republicans in Utah County.

“Curt Bramble is a leader of the Republican Party. He knows it’s against the law to spend public money to get people to vote for your side. But it doesn’t seem to matter. Utahns are starting to ask how these people can be held accountable.”
