Greg Hughes has
been involved in Utah politics for more than twenty years. He was
Utah State House speaker for four years and has had a long track
record for being involved in some of the most important decisions
in Utah Politics and policy.
Hughes'
track record for spearheading the move of the State Prison;
Spearheading the Operation Rio Grande Project (to move the
homeless); serving on the board of UTA; and launching the concepts
of the "inland port" has made him a political leader who is
highly involved in reshaping Utah.
But as a
developer/politician can he really serve the best interests of
Utahns while ignoring his own interests? We point out this conflict
to Hughes in our conversation, that he and many other Utah
politicians have. We also ask Hughes directly about the "Good ol'
boy club" that seems to exist for Republican, LDS members and land
developers in Utah, in what seems to be their efforts to monopolize
the buying public, especially in the fastest growing areas such as
Herriman and Draper.
