The Salt Lake Tribune breaking news in Utah, Salt Lake City and the surrounding area.
Intermountain Power Agency says it had to protect attorney-client privilege in ongoing litigation, but Wilson and Adams weren’t buying it.
But it was the auditors’ statements that they weren’t able to get into closed meetings of IPA’s board or get minutes from those meetings that brought the wrath of leaders from both houses. Only the minutes from one meeting over a five-year period were provided, auditors said. IPA’s general manager, Cameron Cowan, told legislators the auditors were denied because of attorney-client privilege. The closed meetings included discussions of legal strategies for ongoing litigation.
When IPA was first conceived in the 1980s, the benefits to Utah included a new power source for the 23 cities and a commitment to fuel the plant with Utah coal. Legislators later let IPA out of that commitment to buy only Utah coal, but Cowan maintains the vast majority of coal it burns still comes from Utah sources.
Wilson essentially promised the Legislature will be changing the governance structure after seeing the audit. “We can’t do nothing.”
