For the past two years, Salt Lake City International Airport has declared price gouging by cabs there as an official emergency — so that it could use emergency powers to limit taxi fares within the city temporarily.

$30 beyond that
No limit outside SLC limits“The only change would be to make it permanent, instead of temporary,” he said during a meeting Wednesday of the airport advisory board.
