Instead of watching a movie this week, take time to listen to the Utah PLI hearing. PLI Hearings September 2016
Overview of film: Rebecca Benally represented San Juan County well, and concisely presented the concerns and issues her constituents care about. Mr. Ure talked about Utah Trust lands, SITLA. Mr. Koontz represents Ride With Respect, out of Moab. The BLM was represented, The Nat'l Forest Service, and also the Ute tribe. All were given 5 minutes.
The chairman effectively corners Ms.Lopez-Whiteskunk as she does not honestly explain the role of the coalition. The chairman, Mr. McClintock, also asked many good questions, yet kept the hearing moving in a timely manner. You will learn the names of many people that could/should be written to, who don't quite have the big picture of what a designation would mean -- Mr. Lowenthal and Mr. Kornze for instance.
