• SEVERELY DAMAGES THE ECONOMY OF UTAH’S OUTDOOR INDUSTRY

• PUTS PRIVATE INTERESTS OVER THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC

As hard as we have tried to distill the extreme complexities, contradictions and vagaries of HB 187, we could do no better than the following letter submitted by a concerned citizen. It is a lengthy letter, but it touches very well on all the issues we are concerned with. And since we are doing our best to represent the citizens who have been left out of the creation of this bill, we hereby acknowledge this letter as our official position on HB 187 -  Use Of Public Waters.
