ATTEND Marquette Forum: Kennecott Info

Since Kennecott/Rio Tinto has arrived in town, they have controlled the amount of public input allowed into the process of mine development. Their idea of community involvement is a group called CAG (Community Advisory Group) which includes hand- picked members of the community and is closed to public participation. A brave group of activists took action during one of these meetings in 2009 by giving statements of protest to the lack of public involvement. The meeting was adjourned early.


This final forum, the last of four, will be more of the same from Rio’s Matt Johnson (the former aide to Michigan’s Governor Granholm)   but please…

ATTEND! Ask the tough questions, give comment, offer suggestions and make some noise!
