I have not heard any of my colleagues and I have not heard any of the witnesses suggest that we shortcut any environmental standards.
If we are to restore any semblance of that arrangement, we will have to begin by empowering local communities like Hurricane and St. George.
I would point to the Emery County Public Lands Bill as a really good example where we set aside 1.3 million acres.
