Summit County Attorney, Judge Robert Hilder, issued a press release stating that his office was investigating allegations of “inappropriate and possibly illegal conduct occurring by both proponents and opponents of the upcoming Park City School District bonding issue.”

The release says, “Reports state that officials representing the school district may have used public funds to campaign in favor of the bond in violation of the Political Activities of Public Entities Act.” It continues on to state, “Reports have also been received indicating that opponents of the bond issue may have also violated provisions of the Utah Election code by campaigning on school property.”

The County Attorney’s office is currently investigating these allegations and has not made any decisions on charges.
