Salt Lake County Council members side with Salt Lake City, will ask governor to veto inland port plan

In off-agenda remarks at a regular meeting, a majority of the county council indicated they would support a letter to Gov. Gary Herbert drafted by Councilman Arlyn Bradshaw asking for the governor’s veto. Herbert has thus far said he plans to approve the legislation.

“As a good local partner to Salt Lake City, we should ask the governor to veto that bill,” Bradshaw told his colleagues Tuesday, asking for their support.

The bill before the governor, SB234, would create a standalone authority to develop and then manage a trade facility located in northwest Salt Lake City.
