Is public activism knocking the inland port off track? No. We don’t even know where the track is yet.
Rep. Gregg Buxton, R-Roy, a legislator on the the Inland Port Authority Board, says the public is “beating the hell out of us” at the board’s meetings. “And it’s mostly about air quality. It’s mostly about, you know, truck traffic and being able to make everything work.”
The horror of constructive public feedback. That whole “being able to make everything work” sounds like a lot to demand.
Buxton’s report this week prompted the new speaker of the Utah House, Brad Wilson, to raise the idea of new legislation in the name of hurrying the port along.
