Mayor Peter Corroon
Makes Statement on
Open Records
“As Salt Lake County Mayor, I work for the citizens. I believe in open, honest, efficient government and have conducted my office accordingly. HB 477 takes several steps back from the progress we have made in Utah toward a more accountable government.
If state law is ultimately changed to provide less access to records than what the County currently provides, we pledge to continue to provide the same easy, open access to our records that we have in the past.
I am committed to public access for our citizens, so they can feel secure that their county government will always put transparency first. Transparency is essential to maintain public credibility. As the late Justice Louis Brandeis said, ‘sunlight is said to be the best disinfectant.’”
Note: Salt Lake County’s website recently received the highest grade of all Utah counties, an A+, from transparency watchdog Sunshine Review, satisfying all 10 points on the Sunshine Review's Transparency Checklist.
