Transfer of Public Lands, S3 EP35

The transfer of public lands back to the State of Utah may seem like a far shot to some but the idea is gaining momentum. This week's show looks at the current state of the transfer of public lands act from the legislative process to the eventual legal challenges. Someone will make the decisions on how public lands are managed and our guests today feel that the people who are involved with those lands are a better choice than a far off government entity in Washington DC.
