Thanks for the update and your work fighting this.There was a good editorial on pg A13 of the SL trib today. If people aren't sure what to tell their State Senator when contacting them they might want to read this first. The biggest point is that the water in the streambed has always belonged to the public not the landowner. If a landowner bought land for exclusive use of the stream it was a mistake and didn't understand Utah laws (or was knowing keeping the public out illegally). Do you by chance know which senators are most crucial to reach on this bill? That might motivate some to contact their senator if they realize it's more likely to make a difference. My rep and senator have been consistently against HB 141 and I don't see any point in bothering them further.
