Millcreek DEFINITELY prides itself on being its own distinct city.

There was also a recent proposal to merge SSL and Millcreek. I don't think it was something that ever got beyond the theoretical phase, because people were resistant even to that idea.

And thank god voters in the county voted against a full merger. I wouldn't want the backwards politics of suburban Salt Lake to interfere with SLC policy. I could take South Salt Lake, maybe Millcreek...but anything else would just drag down the development of Salt Lake City into the only truly tolerable city in the state.

If South Salt Lake became a part of SLC, perhaps they could close a few of our schools down!!!
