With Salt Lake City finding significant public support for new spending to fix streets, add police, subsidize housing and improve transit, the roadshow that Mayor Jackie Biskupski and other city officials have embarked on to promote the plan is starting to look like a victory lap.
That outreach tour stopped Wednesday at The Salt Lake Tribune as the mayor and City Council Chairwoman Erin Mendenhall, joined by aides and department heads, outlined the city’s twin revenue proposals and how the money would be used. Though the plans appear to have won broad backing, the mayor and council leader have not slowed down on selling them.
