Save the UP Wild and myself are requesting a public hearing in Marquette for CR 595 in addition to the hearing scheduled in Ishpeming. The DEQ scheduled a hearing in Ishpeming because of the central location to the road site and to the County. As the DEQ and most Save the UP Wild citizen base also realize is that public opinion in the Ishpeming area is more evenly mixed on the supposed benefits of the mine and road, while a higher percentage of us in the population center, Marquette, are adamantly against the mine and the road, and are more objective in realizing CR 595′s true purpose–for use as a haul route. Please contact the DEQ. Join us in requesting a Marquette hearing for CR595 such that the DEQ cannot be accused of filtering the audience. Frank Jeff Verito
