When Utah Sen. Jake Anderegg resigned Thursday, he said it was because he could no longer balance his career and service in the Utah Senate. It came days after Robert Gehrke received a document showing he had contracted for consulting work with Utah County.

State Sen. Jake Anderegg, who has a new consulting position, resigned from the Legislature on Thursday, citing a ‘significant change’ to his employment situation.letter of resignation from the Utah Legislature, Sen. Jake Anderegg

Anderegg’s resignation came less than a week after I received a response to an open records request for a contract the senator had signed with Utah County to plan and secure state and federal funding for road projects.
