USANA Big Donor to Utah Governor

Salt Lake Tribune:

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.’s biggest contributions continue to come from Utah’s dietary supplement industry, according to the financial disclosure from his political action committee released Thursday. USANA Health Sciences, based in West Valley City, donated $20,000 to Huntsman’s Special Initiatives Office on Dec. 16. That was the largest single donation since the last filing in September.

The governor uses the political action committee to pay for gifts, cards and parties that fall outside of his taxpayer-funded role. Since September, the governor raised about $43,000 and spent $84,000. Much of that went toward holiday gatherings, though a little more than $30,000 went to his former fundraisers, Farbman, Hopkins and Associates.
