I figured this would happen. The Libby area has been economically depressed with the decline of mining and timber in the area. There is tremendous support locally for it. Any local politician, including the governor, would be committing political suicide if they opposed it. All we can do is hope they are responsible. I'm just as concerned over the Black Butte copper mining proposal near the headwaters of the Smith River in central Montana. I fear the end result is going to be the same. www.saveoursmith.com/ |

I'd like to hear the other side of the story before wholeheartedly condemning it. The earthjustice story was more than a little biased.

I would expect Earthjustice to be biased in favor of the Earth. I'd also hope they would cover both sides of the story, even if only to refute the other side's arguments. |
