The people of Utah are not looking for an emissions loophole. They are looking to protect their families, communities, and land.

With every passing day, the threat to our communities, our lands, and our very lives grows more severe. That is why it makes no sense to leave a critical tool like controlled burns off the table.

Americans deserve confidence that public institutions serve them — not presidents, political parties, wealthy interests, or members of powerful families.

This is the right move, both for the loved ones of the victims and for the country.
