Utah governor signs bills to seize federal land

One state showing the courage to stand up to the Guvmint for their citizens! They're beginning to catch on!

Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert has signed two bills authorizing the state to use eminent domain to seize some of the federal government's most valuable land. ...

Initially, the state would target three areas, including the Kaiparowits plateau in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, which is home to large coal reserves. Eminent domain would also be used on parcels where Interior Secretary Ken Salazar scrapped 77 oil and gas leases last year.

Notice how our previous post tags the Federal government for impeding State efforts to protect their citizens from rapacious financial institutions. So it's no big surprise it's also standing in the way of oil and gas exploration.

Is there any problem DC hasn't caused or made worse?
