Letter: Inland port authority move shows Utah GOP’s hypocrisy

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) Opponents of SB234, gather outside of Governor Gary Herbert's office over the issue of the inland port, Thursday, March 14, 2018.

It’s hard to fathom the hypocrisy of Utah’s Republican legislators and governor. They complain to high heaven about the federal government imposing rules and national monuments on Utah and then they turn around and do the same thing to Salt Lake City and County in creating the inland port authority. Not only that, but they steal local tax dollars to fund it. How can they justify it without being totally disingenuous about their complaints about the feds?
