But Says School Equalization Bill Makes No Sense

(KCPW News) Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker says the legislative session ended well for the city, with his domestic partnership registry surviving under Senate Bill 299, albeit under a new name. But at the same time, he says the school equalization bill, which will force Salt Lake City to give up six million dollars in property taxes to fund school districts in other cities, makes no sense. He also doesn't appreciate the legislature subverting the city's management of airport funds. KCPW's Jeff Robinson sat down with the mayor after the session ended to get his take on how the city fared this year, and his role in shaping legislators' opinions.
