Sobering news out of Utah last week via the email above from the Utah Stream Access Coalition.

It’s a damn shame to have ten years of work dismissed via the defendants’ request for summary judgement (here’s the doc).

The legal minutiae on this decision appears fairly interesting – check out this overview of the decision recently published in the SL Tribune (their image below from the linked article).

From the earliest days of these critical arguments in Utah there’s always been discussion of legislative remedies – you’d perhaps assume that’s where things may be headed, updates to follow as available.

Dammit.
