HI Jackie
I am sending you a quick note about the Midas Gold project. I think and I also think many do,
that the City has no place to make comments, or recommendations on a project that is being
studied on the environmental effects on our area. The Forest Service is the agency
responsible for this study and having a other government agency that has no skin in the game
I feel is not appropriate while this study is being done.
IF the forest service reached out to the City for comment I would think it best for you and the
rest of the council to pass on this. Midas gold has a lot of money to give out and I know that is
tempting to anyone. However during the forest service study lets just agree to keep out of the
discussion as a City.
The Forest Service is doing a great job of getting all the data and information on the project
and I don’t think does any of us any good to have our City involved.
Jackie would be happy to meet you about this issue or any others, I have always found you to
have a open mind.
One more thing, the biggest impact to any town with this project is Cascade. The new road
they will build to the project if approved would start in Cascade and I believe they will be the
most impacted. 200 miners yikes!
Thank you
