Bennett's Washington County Land Bill Passes the Senate |
Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) started off the new congressional session with the passage of a lands bill package (S.22) that included his Washington County Growth & Conservation Act of 2009, a bill critical to address public land preservation and rapid population growth in Washington County.
“This is a very gratifying day for everyone in southern Utah that has been seeking solutions to the wilderness problems in their backyards for more than a decade,” said Bennett. “With the co-sponsorship of Senator Hatch here in the Senate and the work of Congressman Matheson in the House, we finally achieved an agreement that pleases most of the stakeholders.
