SALT LAKE CITY — The state has ended an investigation into comments made by a Silicon Slopes CEO made to members of the legislature, criticizing tax incentives used to lure or retain companies.
Those comments found Domo CEO Josh James under investigation by the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity into whether or not he violated an agreement with the state. At a breakfast at the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit that FOX 13 attended, numerous tech company CEOs offered some criticism of the legislature and the type of bills they pass.
"I don't understand why the state gave me over $10 million to stay in Utah. I just it's incomprehensible. I was never going to leave, but I got $10 million from the state of Utah to stay," James said."And I'll take it. Everyone else is taking it, I'll take it. But I'll give it back if we can get rid of that law and stop paying people from outside the state to hire my employees or take away employees I want to hire.
Domo cooperated with the investigation and previously told FOX 13 it was never in breach. The company did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on Monday on the results of the investigation.
