RE: The Mining Town
Actually, when we had a town meeting with the mine's owners, they left out very little detail. The plans left us with many questions they did not want to answer. So it is all to be seen when it happens. I think that because we are a small town they think they can run us over. And well, with the reeve that we have it is most likely possible. A lot is unknown and the corruption is there.
What is a reeve? Like a town council?
Like a mayor but smaller. Less status or something.
I also have my doubts about "negative impact" on the water table, except that a large, deep hole right on the edge of town would tend to fill up with the available ground water and cause a possible shortage. Making them put in deep wells and a water tower is a reasonable request, IMO. But if they plan on processing right there too, then it's a different game. They will likely wash out the gold on site, but after that I have no clue.
They will be digging right where the towns water tower is lol.
After that, well this town is damaged goods right... I dunno, not too happy with it anyways, I know it will create work for people, but since when working at a mine has ever been healthy for... well everyone in and around it?
