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:
America gone stupid.
The Federal government isn’t supposed to own land in the first place.
This land grab started with Lincoln
Donahue ; The land did not belong to the US until Utah became a state, the gov’t. the people,and the land belongs to those who see it everyday
Don’t give it back as it will just be sold off to be destroyed like what McCain has done to sacred lands of the Apache. The land belongs to all Americans and not just the state that now happens to be there. Personally I wasn’t my land to be open and free for the wildlife and all of us who wish to have some wild America left to roam in and enjoy the beauty of. The Federal government is ALL of us and not just the state where the land is so should be controlled by such. For once GREED and PROFIT should not control what happens to this beautiful country.
GO UTAH ! ! All the real American’s are with you ! !
We of Illinois should reclaim the control of our state from the Cook County power seekers.
From what I understand, this bill is not about “not trusting the feds” It is about the states trying to gain economic prosperity through development- job creation. I can applaud that, but i do hope that since a large majority of this land is currently National Parks land, that it isn’t developed too drastically.
I believe in states being able to dictate what’s best for this state, but as the world gets smaller, I love that there is still undeveloped land left.
That’s ecause Utah knows that the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OF HOODS ARE BUYING UP ALL NATIONAL, STATE PARKS AND ALL LANDS THEY CAN GET THEIR $#%&!@*ED UP ISLAMIC CLAWS INTO!!!!!!!
I could live in Utah. Good for them. In fact I could do without the federal Govt, except Military and foreign affairs.
