SENATOR ORRIN HATCH: “Well, number one, we’d be able to develop some of our resources in ways that would produce a lot of revenues that will go to our school system, our public schools. Right now our public schools are way behind other states ’cause we just don’t have the revenues that could be engendered if we owned our own lands. And that’s number one. Number two, we could help the whole country because we are a resource-rich state that can develop our resources without messing up the environment.”
CONGRESSMAN ROB BISHOP: “Utah does not have access to the resources in the state of Utah to be able to properly fund our needs, specifically infrastructure and especially education. And that is typical of every Western state that has a huge preponderance of public lands. So for the sake of our kids, we need to develop the resources that are here.”
