The Marquette County Planning Commission will hold a public meeting on June 4th, 2008. According to planner, Eric Anderson, “This hearing is part of the process to incorporate the Hazard Mitigation Plan into the County’s comprehensive plan. In addition, we will be encouraging cities and townships in Marquette County to adopt the plan.
The Plan has many flaws, including noting the sensitive nature of the Yellow Dog Plains regarding ground subsidence and erosion yet not listing Kennecott’s Eagle Project as a potential hazard to the area. The Plan does, however, consider opponents of the project to be a hazard.

Location: commission chambers, second floor of the Henry Skewis Annex of the Marquette County Courthouse complex
Date and time: Wednesday, June 04 2008, 7:00pm – 8:00pm
The plan states facts that should be included, if they have not been already, in the lawsuit in Lansing. Here we have these statements declaring the sensitivity of the Yellow Dog Plains, yet Kennecott moves forward. Absolutely amazing. No wonder they are concerned about citizens being upset enough to monkey wrench things. Do your job, DEQ, DNR and Granholm, et al. OH, and for that matter, Marquette Planning Commission.
