    Concerned adminstation has lied to America

    I wonder how many actually believe the lies I believe the government under the current administration is telling the county.

    Says jobs important if mine passes review

    Pat Pitsch wrote May 31 that we shouldn't build a mine in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. I agree that we should protect Alaska's salmon runs and support Washington state's commercial fisherman. But now is the wrong time for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make any decisions.

    Asks president to stop mine plan

    I appreciate the opinion piece, "Alaska's Pebble Mine proposal threatens Whatcom Business" by Pat Pitsch.

    There is a beautiful sea of grass around Cherry Point that supports many life forms both large and small. The Lummi people call this area "Xwe' chi' eXen" or sacred land.
