JUNEAU PASSES PRO-MINING
RESOLUTION
Resolution denounces anti-mining
initiatives
(ANCHORAGE) – The city and borough
of Juneau passed a resolution Monday
denouncing the anti-mining initiatives
set to appear on the August 26th ballot.
The resolution states, in part, “it
appears that numerous existing
projects would potentially become
subject to the initiatives,” and goes on
to say that the city and borough are
concerned that these initiatives are on
the ballot “without the expert scientific
analysis needed, and without the
voters having a means to fully
understand the policy implications of
the proposals and make an informed
decision.”
The resolution concludes by saying that
the subjects of the initiatives “would be
better addressed for Alaskans through
the rigorous and open public review
process normally used for the
development and adoption of
legislation and regulations, than
through the initiative process.”
Willis Lyford, Campaign Director for
Alaskans Against the Mining Shutdown
(AAMS) was extremely pleased by
Juneau’s actions. “Alaska’s Capital City
is the first to stand up and echo what
AAMS has been saying all along: these
initiatives go too far. This resolution
recognizes the importance of a
thorough study of these anti-mining
measures. We hope that all Alaskan
communities, and all Alaskans, will take
a serious look at the drastic impact of
these measures.”
More information about AAMS and
endorsements they have received is
