SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman , is introducing legislation that he says would declare any new wild land designation from federal government null and void.

Wimmer says that under the new legislation if there are "any further attempts" by the government to "lock up" Utah public lands it will not be recognized by the state of Utah.

"And the bill goes further to say, that the sheriffs in the state, and it also includes the governor in this state, to do whatever they need to do to maintain access to those lands," he says. "There is no doubt, it is a direct challenge. It is a law that will put us in complete and direct opposition to what the feds are doing to our lands."

Representative Carl Wimmer

Rep. Wimmer began by speaking about the edujobs bill (http://utah.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/08/edujobs-bill-further-erodes-federalism-in-utah/), commenting that it was “so brazen in its complete overthrow of state legislative bodies.” He argued that the 16th amendment is the most dangerous of all amendments, as it has enslaved the states (which ultimately consented to their enslavement). Half of our budget is from federal dollars, he noted.

Wimmer’s first bill is “very complex”, he said. He’s trying to figure out how Utah can capture federal tax dollars so that they come back to the state. “We send a dollar to the feds. They spend ten dollars to send us back 85 cents,” said Wimmer. The bill would, as it’s currently being drafted, require Utah citizens to pay federal income tax to the state tax commission. There will then be a board set up to determine which federal agencies and departments are constitutional. The relevant amount of tax money will then be disbursed to those entities only. “The state would act as a pass-through entity for the taxes we send them,” he said.

His second bill deals with land. This bill is a nullification (http://www.utahnullification.com/) bill, stating that any future federal land grabs that don’t go through the Utah legislature first for approval will be null and void in Utah, and will direct the Governor to take any necessary actions to enforce the bill.

He noted that if nullification is going to work, Utah needs courageous leaders who stand up for it. “You have my commitment that I’m that type of leader,” said Wimmer. “I’ll be there. Now go out and get the rest of them.”
