- Rural Utahns
for Local Solutions letter to U.S. Senator Robert F. Bennett
in Opposition to the National Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area
- By Brad Van Dyke, June 10, 2003
The proposed National Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area has no
local support in spite of claims to the contrary, threatens private
property rights with central control over land use, favors low-paying
tourism jobs while threatening to drive up the price of property
so that local people can not afford to live where they work,
and threatens the independent local heritage of the Mormon culture.
Property owners in the area of the Capital Reefs National Park,
to be included in the National Heritage Area, are fed up with
the Park Service, which has closed down family logging businesses
to preserve the viewshed.
