LETTER: Government and ‘red tape’

Apparently, the only activity the public is allowed to do on federal land is to look at it (Saturday editorial). When government officials locked up Sloan Canyon and made it off-limits to development, they said it would be open for recreational use. Now that people are trying to build bike trails within the area, the BLM says it’s off-limits for that, too.

So really the endgame is not to allow any activity whatsoever on the land. We are allowed only to look at it from afar. Well, if no activity is allowed on the land, why do we need so many bureaucrats to administer it?

It would be nice to see Sen. Rosen rise to the occasion and be a moderate voice in the room.

“Seeing is believing” would have been a more appropriate headline. When you see the extent of the devastation, you begin to believe how horrific it has been.
