Solution For The Open Pit Mining Fiasco?

The Sloan Canyon mining lease option issue was consciously caused by our elected officials. Research has shown it was not an accident, and not due to ignorance. The officials knew the high risks of allowing the do-nut hole near residential developments, but they did it anyway.

So, those elected officials must be held responsible for killing it–now. The plan to bow down and try to beg BLM for mercy to make it go away has not done the job. All it has done is stretch out the EIS process by at least another year. It should be clear by now that smoozing with BLM is a waste of time. It will not get the job done. Only the senior elected Congressional members can resolve the issue.

The Tea Party Movement has shown us that when we need our officials to fairly represent us, the people have the right to tell them what we need, and to expect them to deliver.

Why would we tell anyone else —in this case to remove the do-nut hole leasing option that can only be done by our elected officials who work for us and represent our interests.

We are asking and suggesting to everyone that wants the do-nut hole removed permanently via the appropriate legislation, to inform their elected representatives-now. They have to listen to voters, if enough of them care to put the right pressure on our members of Congress.

Responding to the wrong and unfair personal attacks from the posters above would be a waste of everyone’s time. Let’s stick to the issue, and make the mine option go away.
