I love the honesty here....
Last week my wife and I drove from Kamas to Tabiona Utah. It is a beautiful drive if you have never taken it. It was amazing to see many areas that 60 -75 % of the trees were dead due to beetles and such. The forest is tinder dry and my wife made the comment if there is ever a fire here it will be devastating.
This is exactly what happened to the Brian head area. Several years ago we were at Brian head and could see the devastation the the beetles had on the trees. Locals and others wanted to go into and remove the fall, but were opposed by many of the "tree huggers, bunny lovers and rock lickers" that representative Noel so eloquently described.
Its time we took control back from special interest groups and agencies like the BLM and others that restrict the commonsense and good people that it impacts the most.
