It is interesting that the legislature actually came to bat for Salt Lake instead of their opposite history of supporting screwing the city over at every turn. I suspect that's because Mendenhall has a good relationship with the legislature (unlike Rocky, who was toxic) and, as I hinted at, I wonder if the LDS Church's Property Reserve, which has a massive stake in downtown's success, especially in terms of bringing people into the downtown for City Creek, kinda nudged the legislature a bit too.
