Lessons from Gary Ott: A difficult beginning, a tragic end — and what’s next
Also of note should be Gary Ott’s rights to privacy in his medical diagnosis, and this court case violating federal HIPPA laws, days before Ott’s death. “Ott’s story has raised questions of whether Utah should have a law to protect both elected leaders and taxpayers from situations when an elected official may not be capable of making decisions to help themselves or those they serve. . . . Still, questions have persisted about how and when Ott’s health began declining, and how concerns about his health impacted his time as an elected official when he was earning about $190,000 in taxpayer-paid salary and benefits — which is why Utah journalists fought to keep last week’s hearings open to the public.”
