Throwing the town most supportive of protecting public lands in southeast UT under the bus for what should be a win-win land trade benefiting #BearsEars just isn't right. sltrib.com/opinion/commentar…

A huge land swap between Utah and the feds is about to go down, making Bears Ears NM whole, while facilitating uranium/lithium and other development on land in Utah (while screwing over the town of Bluff). My rundown: landdesk.org/p/bears-ears-la…
