With the help of Sen. Orrin Hatch, there are now federal rules to allow religions to completely ignore local zoning and build whatever they want.
Is that really true, or is this yet another thing you're making up?
It looks like an editorialized reference to the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, which was introduced to the Senate by Mr. Hatch and signed into law in 2000:
The current Las Vegas Temple is big enough to suit the falling population of Mormons that actually use it, like Doctor Steuss said above. Enough with the expensive building as a justification for tithing scheme. If the Mormon church actually did something useful with its billions, like cure cancer or solve homelessness or something other than building expensive, tacky real estate, then perhaps converts in N. America, Europe and Asia would increase and perhaps retention of converts wouldn't be such a problem for our stock market heroes.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

It is straight from Mormon News Round-Up hosted by Bill Reel, RFM, and Rebecca Biblioteca. That show is on YouTube and can be found through a simple Google search. The episode involves building a new temple in McKinley, Texas. Very informative and it softens any snideness.
