Critics say time and location excluded local voices

SAND HOLLOW, Utah — Utah Representatives John Curtis and Celeste Maloy hosted a subcommittee"field hearing" at Sand Hollow's Rock Bowl Monday afternoon. Joined by fellow congressman Blake Moore, the hearing was intended to call attention to what consider"federal overreach" when it comes to the management of public lands.

"This hearing was announced about only one week ago," says Holly Snow Canada, executive director of Conserve Southwest Utah."It's being held in the middle of the work day, during the hottest part of the day.... at a location that's about a half an hour drive from St. George." One point of contention is a proposal to build a four-lane highway that would run through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area. Critics say the proposal would threaten local wildlife, such as the Mojave Desert Tortoise, as well as set a dangerous precedent when it comes to the management of federal land.
