State of Utah to feds: Give us our land back!

Posted: February 20, 2010

In a modern David and Goliath battle, Utah state Rep. Christopher Herrod has introduced HB143, which, if enacted, would authorize the state to use eminent domain to take land from the federal government. About 60 percent of the state is owned by the federal government.

Herrod and his backers hope to inspire other Western states to join their effort to force the Supreme Court to hear their arguments. The federal government owns most of the land in all Western states. ...<snip>...

Go Utah!

I hope other states jump on that bandwagon too.

Here's the actual bill, for anyone else (like me) who prefers not to give wnd.com one of your clicks.  (They tell an awful lot of lies.  I'm glad this one isn't.)

There are other reasons. Good reasons. Western states were admitted into the union on a so-called "equal footing" status. How can Utah, with the federal government owning 60 percent of the land, be considered equal to any state east of the Mississippi, where the percentage of land owned by the federal government is minimal?

Yep, in the East, all lands not in use were turned over to the State governments.
They were not treated equally whatsoever.
