I still stand by my belief that we just allow Utah to become its own country and build a wall around it.

And then fill it with water.

Wait... walls work??

Not until after I draw some tags there!

Hold on now I think they’d like that

So it can be a lake for 25 years. Plenty of good fishing until you pull a tag.

If Utah got all the land I don’t think you’d see anywhere stay non motorized

As a Utahn, I disagree with the state taking over federal lands. I am contacting my local representative tonight. Thanks for posting.

That hasn't happened.

You will have a pretty good shot.

I don’t know — point creep.

I trust Utah to "manage" their lands about as much as I trust my dog not to eat the pizza off my counter when I leave the room. I mean, what's not to trust about a guy like Reyes?

More lovely reading.

'The right time' — Cox, Reyes file Supreme Court lawsuit claiming 18.5M acres of federal land

They’ve got a bad case of Mormmindvirus over there.

Speaking as a non-LDS part-time resident, without a fiscal plan by which the state will “manage” these lands, the fiscal plan is obvious. The state will divvy up exploitative rights to well-connected LDS affiliated individuals and groups to rape the land and put money into the coffers of the church. That’s just the way things work here.

It just goes to show how exposed Cox feels in this election vs. his MAGA backed challenger. Reyes is a whole other story - he turns down Mike Lee’s bed at night.

As a member of the LDS Church, I think you’re painting the “Church” unnecessarily in a negative connotation.

The fact is that Utah has A LOT of LDS church members, the same as Italy has a lot of Catholics.

It’s greedy people, not the Church that’s the problem.

Good and bad people everywhere.

PS. I am also frustrated by our elected officials in Utah.

Didn’t mean to imply that the church is the problem. The lack of separation between church and state, IMO, is problematic and creates conflicts. The lack of transparency in church owned/controlled entities that receive preferential treatment from UT government is problematic.

If you want to debate whether my statement about entities directly or loosely affiliated with the LDS church would benefit from this, I’d welcome that. History is not on your side.

Again, I have no issues with with LDS faith or those who follow it. My issue is when it gets so intertwined with government that you can’t tell the difference. I feel the same about any religion.
