What I took away from the hearing... Is that everyone that doesnt work or contribute to the tax system, had an issue with the tax dollars being invested in the project, and not their family...
Also one individual who was worried about the salmon, said that taking water from the streams for the mine would effect the fish. Yet right after, mentioned that the salmon were already being effected due to the increase of water levels due to climate change... So complained drawing from the streams will do harm, yet the extra water is doing harm. Clear sign there was no thought put into that comment.
