Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski uses State of the City address to focus on transportation, public safety and affordable housing accomplishments

Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski — facing a re-election year with an already crowded field of contenders and early polling that shows she could be in trouble — used her State of the City address on Thursday to focus on her accomplishments over the past three years.

Some of the items she focused on were hyper-local, such as transportation and public safety. But she also detailed progress on problems that haunt not only the city but also the state and nation, such as climate change and affordable housing.

“The issues we face as a community are not unique,” Biskupski said during her half-hour long speech at East High School.
