Western Voters Just Want The GOP To Leave Their Land Alone

Their representatives in Congress, however, don’t seem to care.

A wide-ranging new poll released Tuesday by Colorado College finds voters in seven Mountain West states are largely opposed to policies that would significantly alter land management in the West, though legislators are moving forward with them anyway.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), for instance, has pushed one such plan calling for the “disposal” of millions of acres of federal public lands by selling them to the highest bidder (even if the sale doesn’t make money for the federal government).

Chaffetz’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment regarding his push for an agenda that’s opposed by most voters in the affected states.
