Let me remind everybody. I know I say this a lot, I just don't think it sinks in. Utah is 66 percent owned by the Federal Government.
This has led to this amazing frustration, and I regret that we couldn't resolve this with this local office and I have to bring it here in a public manner to you, but I don't know what else to do.
If we are not getting the help and the coordination that we need from the Federal Government we are literally shut down as a state.
