Ask the Utah legislatures and they’ll all say they want nothing from the Federal government at all. Yet they gladly accept all the funding they can get if it helps with oil and gas development or to reduce the size of our public parks and monuments.
Fair enough, let’s give them what they want.
No more funding, no more enforced open boarder with their neighboring states, no more enforcing of IP claims from Utah, no more use of $ as their currency.
I’m all for that, it would serve them right. But unfortunately they’d find some way to tax the money out of our hides - like they already do, making us taxpayers pay for richer people to send their kids to religious schools rather than public ones.
Utah is like Texas - they WANT to secede from the union, and be their own little country. In a way that’s partly the mormon militia at work, feeling like they shouldn’t have to answer for any of their actions. And also because right wing politics is enshrined into Utah law at every level.
