In the next few weeks, Salt Lake City citizens will be voting for mayor of Salt Lake City. I think that the two most qualified candidates won the primary.
As a regular viewer of Salt Lake City Council meetings and also of legislative hearings, I have these observations of the two candidates for mayor.
I have been disappointed in the last year with the Salt Lake City Council voting for many tax increases and a 40% council salary increase while Erin Mendenhall was chair of the council. With sales tax, water and sewer fees increasing, some property owners are having to pay hundreds of dollars more a year to live in Salt Lake City before considering the rising cost of housing.
