From Deseret News archives:
Unity Center's funding is debated
In a letter written to Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson last week, Mike Harman of the Poplar Grove Community Council requested that a portion of $5 million raised for the Unity Center instead be used to fix the 900 South rail line that has caused congestion for years.
Although financing to remove the line is almost complete, Harman said about 10 percent of the funding is still needed. "Instead of removing the 900 South line, you raised $5 million, and in condescending fashion, provided our community with plans for a Unity Center," Harman wrote. "I might add, a Unity Center that has yet to materialize, a Unity Center that we never asked for, nor sought."
