Letter: 'A few groups and individuals will make money in the short term and escape to other places, leaving the Great Salt Lake a dead zone for those financially unable to leave.'
All of the above good plans taken together cannot save the Great Salt Lake if Utah legislators and other government officials don’t target a minimal level for the lake. If the state of Utah continues to eye massive diversions along the Bear River, and plan for giant warehouses and transfer facilities in areas along the lake , all of these good conservation plans will be for naught.
So why is Utah continuing to focus on foolish water projects such as cutting down trees in the Wasatch while ignoring more substantive measures? Ultimately, the pursuit of immediate quick and dirty development will lead to economic decline. The oligarchy which exists in Utah seems to have taken the reins of government. A few groups and individuals will make money in the short term and escape to other places, leaving the Great Salt Lake a dead zone for those financially unable to leave. This has been done before by the Russians . Utah deserves better.
