Rep. Casey Snider worked behind the scenes for years to transfer large blocks of roadless state trust land to wildlife officials — cutting the Ute Tribe out in the process.
Great investigative reporting. As a hunter, environmentalist, naturalist, and all around decent human I see the costs and benefits. We all need to work towards sustainability and conservation. We also need to honor the natives we have treated like shit ever since whites came here. They are used to being screwed over by our “legal system “ and before that the military and settlers.
Regarding sustainability the Mormon church needs to change this philosophy of having huge families. THAT is why it’s getting crowded, and resources are scarcer.
The school trust land system needs a total revamp, sacrificing the ecosystems for school money is outdated and stupid.
We should compromise on these land acquisitions and let the tribes have 50% of these lands.
Yes. Utes have been denied an opportunity to buy or even explain denial up front. They been quashed for Centuries on Centuries. Look no further they this menial lifestyles overlooked and been kept out begging for the lands they lost due to settlers farmers and mining.
Thank you for highlighting this issue. Utah public land needs to be prioritized as public land. The effort to monetize and privatize is shocking. We need more watchdogs and transparency.
