I do not support the inland port. If it goes through, Salt Lake City will bear the social costs, including increased pollution and interstate traffic, and the monetary costs associated with city road repair.
Couple that with the state’s clear land and revenue grabs, and with the poor prospect for high-paying jobs, I am left with no conclusion other than our City Council, led by Charlie Luke, has abdicated to the state in favor of a harmful deal for Salt Lake.
The argument that an inland port will result in increased jobs has been overstated.
