The soccer stadium in Sandy stands as an icon of the disregard of public will by our governor and special interest-driven state legislators — not to mention the whiny voice of Dave Checketts. However, the stadium also reminds me that Peter Corroon, Salt Lake County mayor, stood up for and defended the public interest even in the face of a great deal of political bullying. Were he a candidate for the governor's office, I would give him my support.
