Californians have enough problems of there own to handle without sticking there noses into everyone else's business. And that also goes for all those tree huggers.

First off, the land belongs to the all people of the United States, not just those in Utah. Second, if not for the tree huggers, which you seem to disparage, we would all be "camping" in parking lots. If I remember correctly the United States acquired that land in the Mexican American War 1846-48. Utah gained statehood in 1896. The US did not cede all of of the land to the state and had no obligation to do so.
