No longer indifferent

I just couldn’t remain neutral anymore. I knew I had to take a stand. I kept hearing that it is premature and unfair to state a position on pebble right now. They haven’t even applied for permits.

I had to do something. I took two hours of my time to review press clippings, go to the Pebble Project web site, go to the Department of Natural Resources web site. I reviewed the draft plans for the dam, the tailings pond, the location of the mine, the jobs that were to be created.
What I found after educating myself, after taking my personal time to research the proposed mine, I could no longer remain indifferent.
