Watching the new airport rise as a symbol of Salt Lake City’s vibrant future, I realize the one built during my time as mayor must come down. I’m proud of the old structure. I made its expansion a top priority during my tenure. But Salt Lake City International was built for 10 million passengers a year and now serves more than 25 million annually. Air travel has changed dramatically. So must our airport.
The job of Salt Lake City mayor has also changed, as has the race to get there. This year, for the first time ever, we have two women on the ballot.
