Two weeks ago, the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly approved a resolution Opposing The Proposed Transportation Route For Private Industrial Hauling From The Manh Choh Mine To The Fort Knox Mill.
Probably Rotermund didn’t have the courage to vote his own conviction in the face of the overwhelming public testimony that night. The strategy is to delay, delay, delay until they can vote in an empty room. So okay, keep delaying these votes until after the next election. And make sure the public has full access to this assembly’s voting record.
Update: I've heard rumors of a planned amendment that would soften some of the language around the resolution, but still have it pass in some form. I'm not sure to what degree. Still important to show up tonight if able!
