The Inland Port Authority Board can’t seem to escape accusations that it’s operating in the shadows.
Nearly a month after the board voted to keep its subcommittee meetings closed to the public, the Salt Lake County Council voted unanimously Tuesday at its work session meeting to call for openness.
“The Inland Port Board is in its initial stages, and now is the time for Salt Lake County to go on record that 1) the public must have confidence in the decision-making process and 2) the inland port decision-makers need to know that the public is watching,” said Councilman Richard Snelgrove before the vote.
