Letter: 'Despite Utah ranking number one in building the most new housing per capita in the country, the demand for housing in Utah continues to outpace our supply.'
The bipartisan infrastructure law Sen. Mitt Romney helped craft and pass made significant investments in our core infrastructure that could help Utah’s building and construction industry meet the increased need for housing in our state. However, an inefficient federal permitting process still creates delays that prevent many significant projects in Utah from moving forward, stifling growth in our jobs and housing market and increasing costs for potential homeowners.
Reforming the federal permitting process will help across many sectors of Utah’s economy, including expanding renewable energy projects across the state. This expansion of clean energy will benefit current and future homeowners who are struggling with high utility costs while creating a more sustainable, 21st-century energy grid.
Sen. Romney led out on proposing federal permitting reform in 2022, and should continue his legacy of creating and supporting bipartisan solutions that move Utah forward. I encourage him to lead our federal delegation in taking the next logical step — reforming the federal permitting process that currently keeps vital construction and infrastructure projects in Utah tied up in government red tape, hurting Utah’s economy and Utah’s citizens.

Letter: Utah oligarchy stands in the way of saving Great Salt LakeIt was with great disappointment that I learned that Sen. Nate Blouin’s proposal to establish a target minimum of 4,198 feet for the Great Salt Lake (SCR 6) was not endorsed by the Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee. This was the first substantive approach I thought could really work. There are other good bills which have been proposed, such as replacing turf along the Wasatch, encouraging farmers to assess their crops and infrastructure with a view to drought conditions along with payments to reimburse those who increase water efficiency. The water conservancies can help a lot by changing the manner in which water is priced and delivered, and much of the Utah population has shown a willingness to conserve water.
