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.

That’s monument valley and it belongs to the Navajo and has for years
I like that they are fighting the federal government, the Feds shouldn’t own any land! All federal land should be sold to private American Citizens and the money should be used to pay off the federal debt! The tax revenue paid by the new land owners should benefit the state the land is in!
Someone needs to read the constitution, all the Land belongs With, we the people. Federal Government, for WDC, MILITARY & PORTS – ONLY
#PRESDJTRUMP
STAND YOUR GROUND !
Yes
The federal government is only allowed to own the 6 square miles around the white house. The rest belongs to the citizens of America. Just because We the People let you manage our federal parks etc… Does not mean you own them
Obama can kiss someone’s ass
Thanks for the facts, Tom Peden. There are 21 World Heritage sites in the US. Chew on that.
I hope Trump has changed his mind, but I heard him say he thouught the feds should retain control of land via the BLM.
The Federal Govt manages 500 million acres in the US. Trump and his Interior secretary oppose returning it to the states. the Republicans are working on a bill that would, indeed, give much of those lands back into the states’ hands.
