I signed what?
In one of the deadliest editorials in a while, the Provo Daily Herald tore into eastern politicians and environmentalists who would "carve our state's landscape up like a holiday turkey."
(Note to readers! Do not follow the above link if you are operating heavy machinery or driving. The Herald's prose is the equivalent of five hits of Ambien.)
The interminable mess concludes with this statement: Utahns can't afford apathy. ... Those of us who love the land had darn well better get informed.
Unfortunately, the darned editorial board delivered its readers this smoking pile of confusion:

The interminable mess concludes with this statement: Utahns can't afford apathy. ... Those of us who love the land had darn well better get informed.
Unfortunately, the darned editorial board delivered its readers this smoking pile of confusion:
Actually, protests are coming. ... State Reps. Aaron Tilton, R-Springville, and Mike Noel, R-Kanab, said in a letter to voters that the Red Rock Wilderness Act would cost Utah hundreds of millions of dollars and lead America to become more dependent on energy from hostile foreign nations.
Actually, Noel and Tilton did not send the letter. Americans for American Energy, which wants to open the Arctic to drilling, drafted the letter and attached the puppet-like House members' names to
it -- without telling them.
"Where are Utah's other political voices in protest of a major land grab?" thundered the Herald. "They need to be raised, and soon."
I'm sure AAE will be happy to forge additional Utah lawmakers' names on the letter -- stat.

But Tilton sits on the board of this "energy" organization. You knew that, right?
