The Petroglyph: “Senator Hatch and Congressman Bishop should
take this opportunity to pass a bill in congress that will make Utah exempt
from the Antiquities Act just like Wyoming. That would prevent this from ever
happening again.... Now is the time for our Utah Senator's and Congressman to
support President Trumps actions and to protect Utah from the billion dollar a
year environmental industry. Now that would be something to brag about....
Everyone should contact Hatch and Bishop and tell them to do Contact

“If the divisive and painful battles
over monuments are to be ameliorated, the Antiquities Act must be reformed.
But, there is something Utah can do in the meantime–given the self-inflicted
paralysis plaguing our moribund Congress. Utah can exempt itself from the
Antiquities Act, and future monument designations. And yes, it’s been done
before; by Wyoming and Alaska.” Majorie Haun
Roosevelt’s
1906 Antiquities Act has been manipulated and misused by a long chain of
presidents. It is time to change executive overreach, and implement legislation
whereby such designations are required to have congressional approval. Our duly elected officials must be included
in those important decisions, which directly affect individual states and rural
America.
“Impoverished western
counties dominated by federally claimed land
are
exporting children and importing poverty.”
75.2% of Utah’s land is
public. Only 24.8% is privately owned.
