Utah Legislature Punts

HB37 and HB233 are dead in Rules Committee.

400 strong turned out yesterday on the steps of Utah State Capitol building calling for a compromise in the battle over stream access rights.

Rep. Dixon Pitcher, R-Ogden, sponsor of HB37, "The Public Waters Access Act," told crowd members their presence made a difference. He implored them to climb the steps, enter the building and explain their support for the bill personally to their representative.

Utah State Constitution – Article XVII

All existing rights to the use of any of the waters in this State for any useful or beneficial purpose, are hereby recognized and confirmed.” Utah’s public officials took an oath to uphold the Utah Constitution, yet they overturned a 1982 5-0 Supreme Court, and a 2008 5-0 Supreme Court decision? Tell them to stop privatizing taxpayer-funded public resources.  

Contact your Utah legislators and the Governor.

Tell them to SUPPORT HB37.
