I'm about to leave Boston behind and settle in on my land... will it be untouched by Kennecott...or should I abandon my dream and move further north into Canada? The political strings are almost cut with Bush on his way into history... let's not be the last stupid thing he's responsible for...someone please stand up to a British mining company who may sell to a Chinese steel company so they'll have nickel enough to make more crap that we can no longer afford thanks to Bush's other biggest blunder. Evidence is ripe that even republicans don't want ALL restrictions removed from everything. Let's put this one on the books, protect the land 1st, the people 2nd, and tourism economy 3rd. Don't let the Great Lakes State become the Great Mistakes State.. thank you I own land on CR#510, on Lost Creek.

Her replacement, another Bush administration appointee, took office in August,'08. Mary Gade, although a Republican--and earlier, a Bush supporter, lost her job because she had taken on Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan about their pollution of the watershed in the "thumb" area of MI--and she was pushing for a more concentrated effort for Dow to pay for cleaning up their mess. Dow contacted Washington, DC, and soon she was in trouble. So, let's ask the EPA what happened just a few months ago....(Mary Gade has taken steps to investigate this "forced resignation" and what really happened in Washington.)

Has the EPA already made their decision too? The fact that Kennecott has purchased the old Humbult mine is also concerning. I attended the recent Great Lakes "Restoration AND PROTECTION" Initiative meeting, how ironic. Any good news???
