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.

Hats off to you utah
May God be with you….
As long as they preserve the natural beauty of the rock formations & not to bulldoze them under in order to build yet another Walmart or tim Hortons.
It’s called stealing from the public–you’d have to be a $#%&!@* fool to support these idiots.
The fed gov does what it wants when it wants and doesn’t care about cons$#%&!@*ution….
Go Utah,stand you ground.
they want to build condos at monument park
to do what with it???
To manage it for the best interest of the state of Utah. Because the Cons$#%&!@*ution says it belongs to the state.
State governments are doing way more damage to our daily lives than the federal government does. Only idiots who vote republican think state government control is somehow better than federal government control.
When you all have oil refineries and pollution in your yards whem the Republican legislature sells off this land to the highest bidder just remember to blame Obama.
