Utah releases ‘master plan’ for the Governor’s Mansion, but much of it is hidden from taxpayers

Officials cite security for the redactions to the Executive Residence Committee’s plan for the historic mansion.| Oct. 21, 2022, 12:00 p.m.

The plan, Richins said, is a “coordinated effort” by the ERC, the Division of Facilities and Construction Management and the state’s Department of Public Safety to “guide the care of the Kearns Mansion and surrounding grounds over the next 50 years.” “Keep in mind there’s a mansion that’s been very, very accessible to the public and we live in a dangerous world,” Richins said. “There is a large portion of this plan that is ensuring the safety of the public when they visit that mansion.”

In the executive summary, the proposed recommendations were sorted into two main categories: “actions to improve the overall functionality of state-owned buildings and property” and “projects to maintain and preserve the historic buildings and property.” Other “big moves” include demolishing the 1950s addition to the Glendinning, rehabilitating the Carriage House as a reception area and office space, and preserving key plantings in the block’s landscape.The nine-member Executive Residence Commission, made up of state officials and private citizens, includes four people who also sit on the master plan steering committee.

SpencerJCox doesn't consider this part of Utah, blames Salt Lake City officials.

Sounds completely above board and not at all contemptuous of the public that hired this administration 🙄

security through obscurity

Taxpayers funding security at the governors’ mansion which every future governor will use is not the problem; taxpayers funding security improvements to Spencer Cox’s private property is the problem.
