The reason Noel is against it is because there is no way Utah lake can be sold off to the highest bidder, like he wants to do with the rest of our public lands.
As for reasons to clean up Utah lake, I can think of a few.
1. It already is one of the best and most diverse fisheries in the state with room and biologic potential to improve even more.
2. It is surrounded by the second most populous county in the state, whose citizens require diverse forms of recreation the lake can provide and who suffer the negative effects when the lake has issues. (Think lake stink)
3. A clean lake generates a lot more revenue for local businesses and our economy here.
4. It maintains local control of programs including the June sucker recovery.
5. It makes good ecological sense.
6. It's the right thing to do.
As for that resolution and the cutthroat trout, remember that the resolutions the legislature make have no effect of law and usually aren't worth the paper they are written on. I'm glad they are interested in UL and I'll cut them some slack for their musings for a cutthroat fishery that seem very unlikely.
