I may be wrong here and if someone can clarify or correct me please do. I believe the "Water Guardians" were a clearing house for information. Their main task was to keep us (the public) informed as to what was going on with the various water access bills as they went through the political process. In a few cases they created rallies to bring our cause to the public and representatives eyes. They did a very good job and made the bill a very public issue.
My concern is in regards to what needs to be done now. HB 141 is fact. The governor, when he signed the bill, stated that he did so reluctantly. Governor Herbert stated the he was committed to working with both sides to come to a "workable solution". I have heard nothing from the Water Guardians, Governor Herbert, or anyone else since.
The fact that I have heard nothing doesn't mean that there isn't something going on "under the radar".
I am not sure what our options are right now. The obvious ones are to repeal/overturn the bill, create a sportsmens iniative, or force Governor Herbert to honor his comments. There may be others that I am overlooking.
I know this is a very long winded diatribe but my concern is that if I am going to spend some time and money on returning our water access, I want to do it with the group that is properly positioned and structured to do so.
As I mentioned earlier I an unaware of any current activity to fight the results of HB141. Is anyone aware of any group that is actively working to return stream access??
