No, Utahns absolutely do not have an “obligation” to host any special interest projects, much less a giant data farming center that on its own will use more natural resources than our entire state already does. While we can’t oppose all types of growth, this project….
Every day, Donald Trump makes it clear he only cares about one thing: himself.
Now, as fire season begins, he’s closing wildfire offices, putting New Mexicans directly in harm’s way.
I won’t stand by while our communities are put at risk. We will protect our forests, invest in wildfire prevention, and make sure New Mexico is prepared — because our future depends on it.
The Forest Service is a treasure that protects and stewards public lands for all Americans. It is unconscionable to dismantle it — right before wildfire season. https://t.co/KKmq7VXGFh
National Forests are a crown jewel. They are my favorite places in America.
If the Administration moves the USFS out West, they must EXPAND local science, local leadership, and local conservation…not diminish it.
Our forests need local support and protection, not defunding.
Shutting down the US national Forest service and selling/stripping assets for parts is legitimately stupid and disgusting and you're an idiot for defending it.
"They’re ripping the headquarters out of Washington and shipping it to Salt Lake City, Utah — the beating heart of the anti-public-lands movement in America.
They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives.
They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone.
And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees called 'state directors,' embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more, protect less, and get out of the way."

Remember when that bill to start selling off federal land died due to a senate rule? This is the work-around they’re using to privatize and start selling it off anyway.
national forests are for us all. politicians elected to serve the people have become corrupt beyond redemption. these morally bankrupt ghouls will destroy what makes this country beautiful because it will enrich them personally. a better world is possible, but only if we make it
There are outsiders on the internet who will tell you Salt Lake City is in a decline spiral in order to make a political point.
It is definitely definitely definitely not. It’s actually a pretty darn wonderful place to live.
Just don’t give me the “it took something really special to pull me away from Logan” nonsense. Just admit they threw a bag so big you couldn’t turn it down
