Troubled Montana

Apparently special interests have convinced the politicians of Montana to override the wishes of the state's residents.  The state legislature passed a cyanide leach mining bill so now the best we can hope for is the governor to veto the bill.  Tom Chandler over at the Trout Underground is keeping up with the latest developments.  If you read further on his blog there are several other posts referring to the topic.  Educate yourself and then contact the Montana governor via email (email link on the Trout Underground post).

  1. We here in the Spokane area are advised not to eat fish out of the Spokane River due to contamination from mining operations upstream in ID.

  2. Despite promises for "clean" mining technology, that just doesn't seem to be the reality in so many situations across the country. It is unfortunate...
