From the Blue Ribbon Coalition:
This session of the Utah Legislature includes a House Joint Resolution (HJR010) which:
1) Urges (the US) Congress not to enact federal legislation designating additional "wilderness" on public lands within Utah without the unanimous support of Utah's congressional delegation;
2) Urges the United States Bureau of Land Management not to restrict access to existing public lands in Utah under its jurisdiction through so-called "wilderness characteristics" options in resource management plans; and
3) Reaffirms the Legislature's strong support for continued public access and multiple use regarding public lands.
An amended version of this resolution was favorably recommended by committee vote on Wednesday, and is moving ahead.
Naturally, the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club is not happy about the State wanting a say in management of lands within Utah, and is telling their followers to speak out against HJR010. See: www.utah.sierraclub.org/tracker/hjr10.html
YOU can counter their efforts by contacting your State representative and telling them you "SUPPORT HJR 10". To get your representatives contact information or find out who your representative is, see: le.utah.gov/maps/amap.html
For HJR010 status, bill text, etc., see: le.utah.gov/~2008/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hjr010.htm
When sending email, include you real name, street address, and phone number so you can be confirmed as a constituent.
Thanks...
