The group Utah Decides Healthcare said the push comes after years of unsuccessfully trying to convince lawmakers to cover thousands of the state’s poor.

If it passes in November, Utah would join 32 other states and the District of Columbia in expanding Medicaid under former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

The site lined with hundreds of the prehistoric raptor tracks has been heavily damaged in the past six months, Red Fleet State Park Manager Josh Hansen said. Hansen recently caught a juvenile who was throwing slabs of stone into the reservoir, he said. He heard two thumps into the water before docking his boat. Then he saw the person holding two toe imprints from a partial dinosaur track. “I saved that one,” Hansen said. “He had already thrown Continued from A-9 Fowl play alleged The company said it had already documented violations at the farms and taken action to address them before the photos and video were released.

The advocates’ plan would cover more than 150,000 low-income people who make up to about $34,000 a year for a family of four. Many of those are working parents or people whose jobs don’t provide health care and haven’t been able to see a doctor in years, advocates said. It would cost the state about $80 million, with the federal government kicking in about $700 million. The state’s share would be paid for with a sales tax increase that equals 3 cents for every $20 spent on nonfood items, Curtis said.

In Utah, lawmakers have long refused to fully expand Medicare over worries about the cost to the state and whether the U.S. government can afford its share. But they did pass an expansion with a work requirement this year. The plan is still awaiting federal approval and would only cover about 70,000 people, far fewer than backers OF BUSINESS IN PARK CITY RED BANJO 50% OFF ANY SINGLE PIZZA Valid on dine in, to go.

Utah Division of State Parks spokesman Devan Chavez said his conservative estimate is that at least 10 of the larger, more visible footprints, which range from 3 to 17 inches, disappeared in the past six months. “It’s become quite a big problem,” Chavez said. “They’re just looking to throw rocks off the side. What they don’t realize is these rocks they’re picking up, they’re covered in dinosaur tracks.” Some of the slabs sink to the bottom of Red Fleet Reservoir, some shatter upon hitting the surface and others dissolve entirely. “Some of them are likely lost forever,” Chavez said. The park is considering sending a diving team to recover what it can from the lakebed. For now, it’s putting up more signs asking tourists not to touch the sandstone. “You’d think common sense would provide guidance, but it’s not coming across in people’s mind,” said Hansen, who’s been the park’s manager since March. He’s responded to two cases in the past two weeks. This dry and dusty desert area was once a bog filled with mud and moss. Paleontologists believe the dilophosaurus, part of the raptor family, ambushed other dinosaurs while they were resting or drinking from the swamp. Though their three-toed footprints are not fossils, they’re treated as such under Utah code. Anyone who destroys one could be charged with a felony, though no charges have been filed recently. Three teens were tried in juvenile court for destruction of a paleontological site at Red Fleet State Park in 2001. “We’re going to be cracking down on it a lot more,” Chavez said. County prosecutor Kevin Daniels said that the activists’ motivations are irrelevant. “They went into the property belonging to another without permission, they entered into that building and they stole something that did not belong to them,” he said. “Regardless of their motives or their desires, they broke the law.” “If they believed there was a crime being committed — in this case cruelty to animals, as they allege — there are proper ways that the rule of law dictates how you should handle that.” Last July, a federal court struck down a Utah law banning secret filming at farm and livestock sites as an unconstitutional violation of free speech. Activists say that those so-called “ag-gag” laws are designed to hide shocking treatment of animals from the public. Similar laws are under scrutiny elsewhere in the country. Activists claim that the charges filed this week amount to an end-run around that decision. “The industry is very, very afraid of people doing what we are doing,” Frohnmayer said. “They’re afraid of transparency.” Daniels said he has never spoken with anyone in the agricultural industry about the case. A court hearing is scheduled for June 13. Frohnmayer, who lives in Berkeley, California, said he and the other defendants plan to attend.
