Remember the 2001 Olympic Scandal? The International Olympic Committee delegates were reportedly bribed by the Board of Directors of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee. “ Gifts” included many interesting items, most notably “Female Escorts” for members of the visiting delegation.

Joe Cannon was a Member of that Board of Trustees!

In Fact: The Geneva Pension Retirement Fund was only 10% funded at Bankruptcy. The United States Federal Pension Guarantee Corp. Stepped in to “Bail out” the retirees with limited benefits.

Eventually, and Forcefully … The Water Shares were restored to the company as part of a Bankruptcy Settlement Agreement that included the Federal Pension Guarantee Corporation. For almost 5 years, Creditors and Retirees suffered immense hardships. Some reportedly committed suicide.

Utah County … Suffered incredible losses after the closing of Geneva Steel. Peripheral Business also were closed with the resultant loss of thousands of jobs. Many of the unemployed families were forced to seek assistance from the LDS Church welfare system.

He was Head of the Utah Republican Party ! Before he resigned in 2006, he controlled all of the party money that went to the Republican controlled Utah Legislature! Every dollar that went to any Republican state elected official, or Federally Elected Official, came through him!

He Didn’t Care Where the Money Came From ! Convicted Felon, Jack Abramoff, and his notorious gambling interests appear to have brought much money into Cannon’s Utah Republican Coffers
