That characterization of what is likely to be a protracted battle unfolding in federal court was emphasized Tuesday by Utah's chief deputy attorney general John Swallow during a press conference detailing the state's plans in the controversial RS2477 right-of-way dispute.
Tired of stalled negotiations and facing a legal deadline to declare an intent to preserve access, Swallow said the state and counties have filed lawsuits seeking ownership of 3,787 roads in 13 counties since early May. Lawsuits from the remaining counties will be filed in the coming week. Deseret News
