In a 30-second video posted to David Garbett’s Facebook page at the end of April, the Salt Lake City mayoral candidate stands in front of a railroad track as a freight train moves behind him.
That declaration represents a shift to a stronger stance from just a few weeks ago, when Garbett said he would work to negotiate with the board overseeing development of a massive and highly politicized distribution hub planned for the city’s northwest side and would pursue litigation only as a last resort.
“I talked to a few more people about this,” he told The Salt Lake Tribune in a recent interview.
