Utah's public land stance vs Outdoor Retailer Show

[MTGomer]

It would be cool to have OR in Montana, although not sure even Billings has enough lodging to accommodate 50K attendees.

Not just that, but have you been to the metra? Big downgrade from The Salt Palace

Good article. It says they lost at least half a billion dollars. Also, they were about to expand from 2 shows per year to 5. It also mentions a bike show that they wanted and now have no shot at.

There will be lots of open dates to fill with something else.

Haha...... here is the best part. The arrogance (and trust me, I know arrogance) of Gov Herbert....

Herbert's spokesman called the retailers' demands "offensive" and reflected "gross ingratitude," and refused.

My guess is that someone calls the Church to get involved. This does not make Utah look good.

Utah can replace those jobs and that money with "clean coal".....

didn't read all the comments on this thread so if this has been put out there please ignore and am just throwing this out there for comment...what about having the expo and all it's exhibitors stay in UT to deliver the message about public lands? Would that be more constructive than a boycott or not?

So the plan should be business as usual, just add some public land signs and chant and suddenly they will understand what public lands mean to us?

Nice thought, but a majority of the "public" in Utah has drank the Kool-Aid of Noel, Peay, Herbert, Ivory, Chaffetz, and Bishop. The people in Utah will not provide any form of cover for anyone, or anything to do with opposing PLT. I would suggest that a majority of the public there is likely in favor it. One step further, if they keep re-electing the assholes that represent them and support PLT, look in the mirror for the problem. Good on the OR industry, leave nothing but a dust trail behind you leaving Utah. Make Utah and its delegation outcasts, an Island of misfit toys. Carry your support of Public Lands to a State where educating people about the importance of public lands, and keeping public lands in public hands will do some good. Utah is not that place.

Its not 1960 and we're not sticking it to the man over a climbing route in Yosemite, and staying in Utah is a waste of everyone's efforts to oppose PLT.

Utah's delegation will not change their minds on PLT...ever. Leave them to wallow in their own foolishness.

Buzz, Utah loves you

Agreed. Her analogy is laughable and other comments do nothing to address the issues in my opinion.

 

[JoseCuervo]

That was painful to read.

Sorry, but leaving town is far better.

Hurt them in the wallet. Other groups will avoid Utah.

UT Legislator, Ken Ivory Doubles Down on the anti-public lands position by using his Legislative Chairmanship to use UT Taxpayer money for spreading his personal anti-public land ideology. Seems Ivory views the Utah General Fund as his own marketing budget.

Note that it passed the Utah House 44-25. Federalism for all. 'Spose he will be the one getting paid to teach the theology?

Funny thing: Montana has that same concept being heard on the 23rd.

Interesting place to find the money for this endeavor...wonder if Fielder will be following his lead on this too?

Ivory said the bill would not be funded with new revenue but instead through a reallocation of savings found by the Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee, which he co-chairs.

What will be the next religion is she going to try get the state to pay for its indoctrination?

Having her political teeth kicked in over State Transfer, the new marketing scheme is "Federalism." Don't suppose she is using her Senate position to promote the Utah American Land Council agenda. And people wonder why Montana Legislature is such a circus show at times. Pretty much to be expected with so many of these screwballs and wingnuts being promoted in primaries by the out-of-state interests with all the money, and then the bought-and-paid-for leadership of the Republican Party appoints folks like her to Chair Committees and be on their Legislative Leadership team.

Idgits!
