Sad Day for Utah Fishing & All Those That Enjoy Utah Water

House Bill 141 -Representative McIff's unconstitutional House-bill somehow passes the Utah Senate.

In an odd twist of events, the 2nd substitute HB-141 was passed with a 19-10 vote late in the day.

A swarm of brand-new cowboy hats filled the hallway in front of the Senate door this afternoon in anticipation for a full floor debate. The 2nd substitute HB-141 was made public, just 3 hours before the vote.... in a nut shell, its still full of problems.

Also, Senator Stowell attached a bill, SB-281 Public Access to Stream Beds - Utah Waterways Task Force, to HB-141. We'll post a full breakdown shortly.

The Vote->http://le.utah.gov/~2010/status/hbillsta/hb0141s02.htm Please note how your Representative voted and act according come election time. If they stood up for the Constitution and water law, send in a note thanking them.
