Kane County Commissioner on lawsuit: Bring It!

The simmering "Them's us'ns roads" conflict in Kane County has gotten a bit more national with Illinois Sentor Durbin's help (from the Salt Lake Tribune):

"The department's lack of enforcement of BLM policy has emboldened the county and these individuals to increase their defiance of federal law," [Durbin] wrote.
Durbin asked the department to report what legal steps it intends to take to force the county to remove the signs, when the action will take place and what consequences will face those "who remain in defiance of federal law."

(Natch, Norton's DOI had no comment.)

After meeting with the Lt. Governor, BLM officials, and the state AG's office,

Kane County Commissioner Mark Habbeshaw said afterward that he welcomes litigation to solve the dispute.

One last thing: My admiration goes out to State BLM Director Sally Wisely, who, it appears, is not ducking from her federally-mandated responsibility.
