Rep. Maloy’s office has been sharing a wildly misleading “fact sheet” across Capitol Hill on her attempts to use the CRA. To get a more detailed look at the real facts, visit suwa.org/debunking-re...

"If you have ever traveled to or through Grand Staircase, dream of visiting, or love a landscape as deeply as a relative, please write to your representatives (especially if you are outside of UT) & urge them to oppose efforts...to remove the 2025 Resource Management Plan. (1/3)
