(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Ethan PetersenÊwithÊCivil Riot, a SLC-basedÊcivilÊresistance collective, and other opponents of the proposed inland port are escorted out of the Utah Inland Port Authority Board meeting by Utah Highway Patrol officers at the Capitol, June 5, 2019. The Inland Port Authority Board had to cancel its meeting last month after a group of protesters took over the meeting. Petersen was arrested.
It is no surprise there was some lively protesting at the last inland port meeting. And it is no surprise the protesters were physically removed by the state.
After all, the Legislature taking control of a huge portion of Salt Lake City against the city's wishes is the biggest landgrab in Utah since our immigrant ancestors stole the entire state from the Indians.
