Chaffetz just laid it down, and called out the NY rep when he said that the federal land is land that states "abandoned".. Chaffetz called him out on that, and also asked that instead of lock up all this Utah land in addition to an already 50%+ of utah land run by Fed Gov, that the NY Sen support moves that Utah reps suggest that will benefit it's education system.
The NY rep seemed pissed off for getting called out and cornered..

BLM's motto: If you have to get out of your chair, it's too much work.
Is there anywhere I can watch this live online?

They just went into a 30 min break..
You could plainly see how nervous the BLM Director got under Chaffetz' knife.. He was squirming..
Chaffetz asked how the BLM moves forward in energy developement.
BLM D says they have leases
Chaffetz laughed and said how many this year
BLM D had no numbers, but said alot
Chaffetz said he wouldn't say it was alot, and then Cheffetz called him out and said you canceled alot this year too, how many?
BLM D said we did but i don't have numbers..
Chaffetz bore into him about the BLM's lack in doing anything involving energy..
It seemed to me that the BLM Director was getting nervous, and his answeres were alot of 'uh's'..

I love how Chaffetz dug into the BLM director about maps of the proposed Wilderness areas.. Oh, what's that? You have no maps?!? I think the Director sh!t himself at that point.. Chaffetz asked, 'how can the BLM support 9.4mil acres of land to be wilderness if it's not even spelled out on a map at this time?.. OMG, great stuff.
Also bringing up that at first it was a 3mil acre proposal, then 5mil, then bla then bla, now ballooned to 9.4mil acres.. He asked point blank "when will enough be enough?".

someone posted this on the tribune, and I thought it was spot on
and one of the more vocal anti-access posted this, which I thought was relivant for the opposite reason that he probably does.
How a "citizens" inventory is supposed to take precedence over one done by the BLM is beyond me. It would also be helpful information if they talked about how SUWA has directly contested and changed the BLM's book definition of 'road' and "roadless" so as to allow these areas that were professionally surveyed and determined not to be "wilderness" decades ago to be inventoried by SUWA (who has no private agenda, right?) and now are "wilderness". I wonder how they would respond to the idea that areas that have roads by previous definitions, and have been under continuous use for decades, somehow have been damaged so much that they now are considered wilderness. Isn't that counter intuitive to their "OHV's destroy the world" rhetoric?
