"No government ownership. Privatize it all."

That'd be my ultimate goal as well, but a first step in that process would be to get the control of this Land outta DeeCee...it's absolutely appalling what the Feds have gobbled up over the last decade!! Let Utah citizens be primarily responsible for Utah lands, at least then we might find a way to fire someone the next time we have a catastrophe like these fires!!

Yep, incrememntalism got us to this point of ineptitude/incompetence, incrementalism can get us out.

You do realize that the first thing that would happen is that the liberals in Salt Lake, Snowmass, Park City, etc. would organize to call the shots on forest management everywhere else in the State?

Around here, if it were left up to the locals it would be illegal to ever cut another tree without an outrageously expensive permit. In the next County, (Santa Clara) they have a $5,000 fine for "adverse pruning."

There is a better way to implement privatization. I've got that plan too.
