This week, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill, resurrected the Red Rock Wilderness Act to set aside eight million acres in Utah as wilderness. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, say if Durbin is so crazy about wilderness, he should have a new designation in his own state.
An Illinois senator asked Congress for more Utah wilderness land, without any Utah co-sponsors. In response, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) wants more Illinois land.
An Illinois senator has again reintroduced a piece of legislation that would protect 8.4 million acres of Utah. Meanwhile, a Utah representative is pushing for the digitization of federal land maps.
