To hear Utah Congressman Rob Bishop, chairman of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee, tell it, wilderness protection is single-handedly devastating Utah’s economy. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/opinion/51752587-82/wilderness-utah-bishop-economic.html.csp?page=1
This is nothing new: Bishop has been making this same claim for years. But I was surprised recently when several Democratic Congress members seemed to blindly accept the premise that wilderness designation represents a “war on Western jobs.”
