Nope. Federal versus State. Both are public. One is controlled by the state, the other the feds. If you like fed control and folks in the East Coast and California having a say in regulating public land in Utah that is liberal. If you think that Utah should run their lands themselves that is conservative. How about having the Feds run state Fish and Game agencies? Thats a bad idea, but it could help someone like me who is a non resident. I'm not in favor of something JUST because it benefits me. People only think of themselves totally and completely.This!!
The anti-public land supporters like to confuse "Government owned" with "public owned" to suck people in to their propoganda.
