(Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) Rep. Francis Gibson, R-Mapleton, Inland Port Authority board member who was appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sept. 26, 2018. Before the Inland Port board met Wednesday, a coalition of community, environmental and civic organizations have raised a separate transparency issue, noting that the group’s proposed half-page budget lacks specificity. The coalition wants to see the board acknowledge concern within the community, provide more details about its budget and fund an investigation into potential environmental harms from development of the port.
