I would love to see the state have jurisdiction over (public lands) someday right now we dont, Maloy, the GOP candidate in Utahs special congressional election, said in an interview.

Maloy has ridden her southern Utah connections and rural roots to rocket from a virtually unknown Washington, D.C., staffer to the cusp of winning Utahs 2nd Congressional District seat in Congress.
On the campaign trail, the Republican has frequently highlighted the issue of public lands. Like some other Republican politicians in Western states and her Bundy relatives Maloy believes individual states, not the federal government, should have jurisdiction over those lands.
The Bundys views are widely considered extreme by expert organizations like the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Its all rooted in a fundamental willful misreading of the Constitution, Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the Center for Western Priorities, said of their views. All of these folks just ignore the text of the Constitution and 200 years of jurisprudence, he adds. The Constitution makes it clear Congress has the ultimate say over federal lands. That is the beginning and the end of it.

had to laugh a little bit ...
Let me guess - the 'other' candidate is an ever bigger whack-job?
Has a larger gun collection?
