Ute Tribe says new Utah bill feels like retaliation over Tabby Mountain dispute

The chairman for the tribe feels the measure is inappropriate with the ongoing dispute — and lawsuit — with the state over the property in eastern Utah.

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Ute Indian Tribe Chairman Julius T. Murray III in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024. The chairman said the tribe is opposed to HB262, a bill it feels comes in retaliation to the tribe trying to purchase Tabby Mountain when it was put up for sale by the state, though the parcel was later pulled back.
