Utah House Speaker Greg Hughes and Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski say they’re friends, but they have been acting like enemies. For example, last week, when they had a brief, but very public, spat over closing a street in the Rio Grande district.
The street between The Road Home homeless shelter and Catholic Community Services Weigand Center did close on Friday — to vehicles but not to pedestrians — in order to create a “safe space” for the homeless population.
But in this instance Biskupski was bullied in a loud and aggressive public tantrum.
