Letter: Garbett puts forward bold ideas while other candidates peddle more of the same

If you look at the field of Salt Lake City mayoral candidates and have a hard time telling one from the other, you’re in luck.

An important difference between David Garbett and other candidates just made headlines this week, in a Salt Lake Tribune article titled “Salt Lake City mayoral candidates attack David Garbett’s plan to move oil refinery as empty hype.”

I endorsed David Garbett because I saw in him a kindred soul — someone, like me, who was ready, willing, and able to put forward bold ideas — bold, well-grounded ideas. And in a time when other candidates seem content to peddle more of the same — as if Salt Lake City is doing just fine and we just need a new name on the door of the mayor’s office and a fresh voice welcoming visitors to Salt Lake International Airport.
