It is not the use of the Antiquities Act; it is the promise, the abuse of it.

There has got to be a discussion about the cost of health care.

I think we learn from each other. If Massachusetts has a great plan and the people of Utah like it, we will probably adopt it.

I believe that the States can do this better for their unique populations than can the Federal Government.

If we wish to protect and preserve this area, drawing lines on a map that will encourage increased visitation without a corresponding increase in law enforcement and land management resources is not a solution to vandalism and desecration…

The worst thing that can be done for these sites, which have been preserved because of their remote location and lack of visitors, is to invite unsupervised visitors to an un-policed area.

Refugees, as I look at them, are people running away from bad circumstances. We've had some of that in our own culture. Maybe that makes us a little more sensitive to that issue, maybe a little bit more empathetic because of our own…

Government closest to the people governs best.

I hope we don't lose sight of the fact we have consensus on preservation and protection.

People don't trust the Federal Government.

As evidenced by opposition from virtually every elected county, State and Federal official, the State of Utah strongly opposes any unilateral monument designation within our state.

My number one priority as Governor of Utah is to foster an environment where the private sector can create jobs.
