| Description | Salt Lake City mayoral hopeful Keith Christensen's newly minted support for a downtown skywalk will not vault Mayor Rocky Anderson back into the race after all.
"I'm out. I'm not running for re-election," Anderson said Friday, slamming shut the third-term door he had creaked open last month.
Anderson says he is disappointed with Christensen's conditional sanction of the sky bridge, but defends his endorsee for being deliberate in reaching his position.
"The difference is Keith has conscientiously studied the issue," the mayor said. "The other candidates jumped in without doing much research."
Christensen joins major contenders Jenny Wilson and Dave Buhler, who have endorsed the LDS Church's plans to link the $1 billion-plus City Creek Center with a skywalk over Main Street between South Temple and 100 South. |
