Gary Herbert: “The burgeoning debt is just the result of not having appropriate balance between the state and federal government.”

I think most all of us appreciate that government closest to the people tends to be more reflective and more representative of the people's needs.

I believe that what we all want is to protect the antiquities in this area, but the question is how and through what means.

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

A great start would be Congressman Bishop's legislation that requires more public input and local buy-in based on the size of a proposed monument.
