Biskupski is finding it’s easier to criticize as a candidate than it is to govern as a mayor

During the 2015 Salt Lake City mayor’s race, then-challenger Jackie Biskupski scolded incumbent Ralph Becker for allegedly not taking sexual harassment claims from city employees more seriously.

She referred to a lawsuit three female police officers filed over sexual harassment from a top official in the police department that she said Becker mishandled. And she mentioned a harassment claim from a former female battalion chief and fire marshal in city’s fire department who said she was retaliated against for pointing out problems in the department.

Now Biskupski is discovering it’s a lot easier to criticize city leaders from outside the government than being the one in charge.
