Advocacy group reads petition calling on Commissioner Graves to resign
Summary
A representative of Alliance for Better Utah read a 341‑signature petition citing an official county‑attorney report and urged Commissioner Graves to resign; no response from the commissioner was recorded during the meeting.
During the public‑comment period Laura Boyer, a policy and advocacy fellow with Alliance for Better Utah, read a petition addressed to "Commissioner Graves" and said the petition had 341 signatures as of the letter's writing.
Boyer told the commission the Utah County Attorney's Office had produced an investigative report describing workplace misconduct by the commissioner and read language summarizing the report's findings that the commissioner was "widely viewed as a workplace bully, dishonest, demeaning, intimidating, threatening, and explosive." She concluded by saying, "We call on you to immediately resign from office."
Speaker 1 accepted the paper copy of the petition for the record. No recorded response from the named commissioner appears in the meeting transcript.
