Republican District Attorney Lohra Miller
Former Republican Mayor Nancy Workman in her Mugshot when she was booked for two felonies
After already receiving a 10% increase in her budget, Salt Lake County DA Lohra Miller, stomped her feet at Mayor Corroon today in a press conference as if she had not received enough allowance or a new car for her 16th birthday. She claims that she desperately needs a 26% increase in her budget instead of her already allocated 10%. Unlike most experienced managers, Miller's antics shows her naivete about the county budget. A 26% increase is unheard of in county politics, you cannot even efficiently hire the people in a sound manner to support 26%. Miller received authorization for several new employees in June and did not get them hired until October. Meanwhile 15 of the office's most experienced Prosecutors left the office because of her abusive managerial style. For 16 years DA David Yocom operated the office without ever getting an increase in his budget. Miller's demands reveal her inability to manage within the budget historically offered to the office. Her motivation is pure self-aggrandizement and political in nature.
Perhaps, her political theater is the brainchild of John Rosenthal, the former high ranking deputy to Nancy Workman, who is now Miller's top advisor. Workman, who never found a piece of county property that didn't deserve to have her name and face plastered all over it, was accused of rampant cronyism and managerial incompetence.
Maybe Miller is trying to distract the public by attacking Mayor Corroon because she is embroiled in her own political scandals:
