As a resident of Salt Lake CIty who is concerned about climate change, I am celebrating Mayor Jackie Biskupski.
Biskupski recently attended the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual meeting in Honolulu, where she sponsored a resolution entitled “In Support of a National Price on Carbon Emissions.” The bipartisan resolution passed with the following wording: “Be it resolved that the United States Conference of Mayors strongly urges the United States Congress to pass legislation that imposes a price on carbon emissions.”
The resolution went on to describe the wide range of benefits a price on carbon would offer our city and our country.
