Officials from nine Western states say it's time they take control of federal lands within their borders.
The
lawmakers and county commissioners met at Utah's Capitol on Friday to
discuss their joint goal of wresting oil-, timber- and mineral-rich
lands away from the feds.
The Legislative Summit on the Transfer
of Public Lands, as it was called, was not publicized until midday, when
the Utah House sent out notice of a 4:30 p.m. news conference.
The
result of the meeting wasn't clear. But at the news conference, Utah
House Speaker Becky Lockhart said it was in the works before this
month's standoff between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of
Land Management.
