64.9% of the state of Utah is Federal land. A bit much don't you think?
How much Utah is Public Land?
Yep, I agree. Both monuments were expanded by Obama and Clinton under the antiquities act, which was not intended for this purpose. Good to see the over_reach is being resolved.
Here is a quick version of the antiquities act -
President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Antiquities Act in 1906 largely to prevent looting of archaeological and Native American structures and objects. The purpose was to give the federal government an expeditious path to protect archeological sites.
archeological sites are not millions of acres
