What's in it for Salt Lake City voters if they choose to fund an $85 million bond to build new parks and open spaces?
"This bond is the single largest investment we would be making in parks, trails and open space in a generation," Mayor Erin Mendenhall said in a recent interview with FOX 13 News.
No one submitted an argument against the bond for the city's voter information pamphlet. Parks and recreation bonds are typically very popular in Utah communities, with taxpayers repeatedly voting in favor of them. The Utah Taxpayers Association acknowledged the popularity, but said it had concerns about the overall tax burden to residents.
"For Salt Lake City, we haven’t done one since 2014 and it was needed to accommodate our growing population in the city," Mayor Mendenhall said of the bond.
