Mia Love was on the Saratoga Springs (Utah) City Council, and later became Mayor while this criminal malfeasance was transpiring. Her ability to serve as a member of Congress is severely compromised by this revelation IMHO.

Why this is just now being reported two weeks before the election seems like more than a mere coincidence.

Mia Love, who served six years on the council before becoming mayor in 2010, asked the city’s attorney about the city’s possible liability.

"Do we feel like we are not obligated or we are even entertaining this because we have some fault, some responsibility for what has happened to the people who have bought lots?" asked Love, today the Republican candidate for Congress in Utah’s 4th District.

Attorney Todd Godfrey told Love he didn’t believe there were legal liabilities, but added, "Property owners, I think, will sue you. I don’t know if there’s any way around that."

She approved the building permits that were issued for lots that had no water. She later was Mayor when the issue came up again and again. The implication is that she either knew or should have known that what was occurring was illegal. It is there if you read it.
