Salt Lake City - Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert has signed two bills authorizing the state to use eminent domain to seize some of the federal government's most valuable land.

Supporters hope the bills, which the Republican governor signed Saturday, will trigger a flood of similar legislation throughout the West and, eventually, a Supreme Court battle that they hope to win -- against long odds.

More than 60% of Utah is owned by the U.S. government, and policymakers complain that federal ownership hinders their ability to generate tax revenue and adequately fund public schools. Governments use eminent domain to take private property for public use./snip

I guess I wonder-

When govts sell off roads we paid for- how this will fit in.

See my point?

I mean- states are doing bizarre things to make budget- selling public infrastructure.

The Zionists want to kick the Mormons out.

How can you be so blind as not to see that?
