In a Facebook post, the former state senator said that decision is based largely on what he sees as the councilwoman’s role in setting the groundwork for the inland port, a massive and largely unpopular international distribution hub planned for a huge chunk of land on Salt Lake City’s northwest side.
Salt Lake City “threw open the barn door” to the inland port, he said, with two agreements negotiated with developers north of I-80 before the state took over the city’s land and taxing authority in the final hours of the 2018 legislative session.
