On Dec. 31, 2014 Utah began the process to retake 31.2 million acres of its own land previously under the control of the federal government. Utah consists of 54.3 million acres, so Washington was controlling more than 65% the state.
The “Transfer of Public Lands Act”, signed by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert in 2012, is an unprecedented move that directly challenges the authority of the federal government.
Now, since the reclaim has taken place, Utah is gearing up to fight the feds.
MOVE ON TO PAGE 2:
you do not understand the situation, obviously.
Not my state, I live in New York.
The federal is only permitted to own land that is used for bases and federal buildings. Why no one has called them on it before is a wonder to me. Good for you Utah.
Were these part of the lands set aside as public parks of which there are 5 in Utah?
Doing that will increase federal taxes, the more they spend the higher our taxes will be.
This isn’t correct. The effort is being pursued but nothing has moved on it as yet. Whoever made this meme KNOWS that. ….interesting.
I hope Utah can win this fight
this is bs it was never Utahs land. regardless of their claim.
Yea because we become WAY to reliant on the money-wasting fed. End The Fed!!!
That is a tempting theory. The execution of it would fail though.
