“Arizonans will vote next month on a ballot proposal to give the state control over the Grand Canyon – the latest move in the so-called ‘sagebrush revolt’ in which western states are trying to reclaim federal land. The issue was put on the ballot after the proposal passed the Republican-controlled legislature. It would amend the state constitution to give Arizona sovereignty and jurisdiction over not just the Grand Canyon but all the ‘air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources’ within its boundaries.”
