Herriman officials say they worked with League of Cities to push back on state housing measures, mention SB 337
Summary
Mayor Palmer said the city coordinated with the Utah League of Cities and Towns to oppose certain housing bills and referenced SB 337 as a contentious matter while the legislative session headed into its final day.
On the March 6 episode, Mayor Palmer and hosts briefly reviewed the state legislative session as it neared adjournment and described the city’s advocacy work in Salt Lake.
Mayor Palmer said the city worked with the Utah League of Cities and Towns "to kill off some, in my opinion, not great housing legislation" and credited local representatives for keeping the city informed. He identified "SB 337" as a bill that has been "a hot topic" and expressed reservations about parts of the measure.
The mayor and hosts framed the end of session as a fast-paced deadline, with legislators "there all day" and constrained by a hard cutoff: "They cannot finish past tomorrow night at midnight," the mayor said. The hosts warned that the final days at the Capitol are typically "fast and furious" as bills move through both houses.
No on-air representative from the state legislature or the sponsoring offices appeared on the episode and the podcast did not provide bill text or specific amendment outcomes. The city’s remarks were presented as an account of local advocacy and ongoing monitoring rather than as final determinations about legislative language or enactment.
The podcast encouraged listeners to monitor the legislature directly for final action and thanked state representatives for their communication with the city.
