The purpose of this initiative is to give our state the power to deny any new hardrock metal mining (eg. gold/silver/copper) permits that would create permanent water pollution.

  • Letter to the Editor - Choices should be governed by more than the economy

    Updated Oct 17, 2018

    Editor, “It’s the economy, stupid,” was once a campaign motto. Likewise in this election it’s no surprise the current ruling politicos claim credit for a thriving economy. I believe any economy-related credit or blame we ascribe is oversimplified, overrated and is not what this election is about. I believe this big flap about the economy is covering the more important issue of moral integrity. Our choices should be measured by values such as equity, fairness, civility, truth and what serves the greater common good. I see tho...
