Former Secretary of Interior Calls Out Utah's Governor Herbert
Former Secretary of Interior Calls Out Governor Herbert
During a recent speech in Salt Lake City, former Secretary of the Interior and Governor of Arizona Bruce Babbitt blasted Utah Governor Gary Herbert for leading the charge to seize control of your public lands.
Speaking to a packed audience of outdoor recreation industry representatives from across the county at the Outdoor Retailer trade show, Babbitt noted that “Governor Herbert has proclaimed his personal enthusiasm for casting off federal environmental regulation” and warned that “the disappearance of outdoor spaces is an existential threat to your industry.”
It’s also an existential threat to our way of life here in Utah. Like Babbitt, we can’t imagine the West "as a landscape of locked gates, fences festooned with “NO TRESPASSING” signs, streams blocked off to fishermen, and campgrounds and hunting lands put on the auction block.”
Please ask your representatives to take a stand in defense of Utah’s redrock country by cosponsoring America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act today.
