The people of Salt Lake City are gradually awakening to the travesty of the inland port. It is an unprecedented land grab by the state of Utah, seizing more than 20 square miles from the authority of Salt Lake City. The port has its own unelected governing board of 11 people, only two of whom come from Salt Lake. This board answers only to the state. All authority now rests with the board. The city has lost ownership of the land, any authority, and most of the revenues that may come from the economic activities of the port. The state hasn’t even paid the city for the land.
