Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) Opposition

Argued that the transportation tax increases the cost of living and double-taxation on businesses that are already paying heavy taxes.

Stated that a $500 monthly fee on his building cannot be passed on to tenants with existing long-term leases, hurting property owners.

Reported that the fee will cost him $2,000 a month across properties and questioned the fairness of funding specific road projects via a broad fee.

Shared that her utility fee jumped significantly and complained that property owners were never properly notified or given a chance to comment.

Called the fee absurd and highway robbery, noting business tenants cannot swallow unexpected costs with no input.

Argued that comparing South Salt Lake to other cities is misleading because South Salt Lake applied the fee solely to commercial properties.
