Respected Ladies and Gentleman of the McCall City Council-
The Salmon River is a very special and unique watershed that is home to many species of
animals, fish, and plants, as well as a source of clean water, recreation for all, and important
jobs for our community members.
Midas Gold is seeking short term gains for their shareholders who are out of state and out of
the country at the long term expense of the local community members.
As a proud Idaho native, McCall resident and home owner, as well as an avid flyfisherwoman
and outdoorsperson who takes pride in our state's natural beauty, it appals me to think that
my community would sell out to Midas Gold. By accepting any monetary contributions it is
expressed and implied that we as a collective community, i.e. McCall, are "on board" with
Midas and their plans to disrupt and deplete our natural resources that are our birthright. I do
not choose or want to be represented in this way. I do not want my community to "sell out" to
a company that is only interested in monetary profits, not long term sustainability for future
generations.
By accepting monetary "donations," it doesn't give McCall any power in negotiations,
permitting, or any part of the decision making process. It simply tells everyone else at large,
that we are "with and in support" of Midas Gold and whatever they choose to do without any
actual say in the matter.
Sounds like a bad deal to me....
Please carefully consider not only current community members and their wishes when making
this very important decision, but also future generations and how we as McCallians choose to
represent ourselves and what we deem important.
Thank you for your time and attention to this most important matter.
Respectfully,
Stacy L. Bowers
