Hey, Governor Gary Herbert, you suck!

Fishing, HB141, Utah, Water

It is with extreme sarcasm and complete derision that I would like to thank Governor Gary Herbert for stripping Utahns of rights we have enjoyed since the settling of the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.  With the signing of HB141, you have robbed the right of public water access from the citizens and given them away to the property owners.  Not only have you cost this state jobs and dollars by signing away our outdoor legacy, but you will also have cost yourself a job as Governor (I mean one that the people actually voted for).  What is it about an easement that is so egregious?  Every property owner has them for utilities or sidewalks.  This easement should be granted to the benefit of all to enjoy the relatively small amount of flowing public water in this desert state.  This law will be challenged in court costing good people and this state far too much time and money for something that could have been resolved through collaboration and openness.  I am confident that the rights of the people will be restored through the courts.  It is just completely stupid that it has to come to this.

    Hey, I didn’t vote for this guy, I voted for the other guy. AND I won’t vote for this guy, I will be voting for the other guy. What a lame, lame law.

    I can’t say that I’m a fisherman; this law stinks, though. Hopefully it gets overturned somehow.

    Thanks for your comment. It affects anyone who might want to enjoy a stream including birders, hikers, rafters, kayakers, etc. I really hope we can get it overturned!
