3/22/2008 Giffords - Grijalva Letter to forest service to suspend the scoping process
4/1/2008 MUST READ read Augusta's response to the scoping process extension. They say they welcome the public input but think the extension of the scoping process was too long? The original plan in the forest services Notice of Intent only provided 30 days for public comments and three meetings were scheduled back to back. See a great video of the Patagonia meeting. Thank god for the two citizens who spoke up, it was the start of the true public education. Of course I'm still dismayed that Patagonia, Vail, and Green Valley, the communities most affected by the mine, did not get their own open mike meeting for public comments.
