Maynard said the settlement still left taxpayers a $181 million cleanup bill, and came after Salazar backed off earlier talk of prosecuting Friedland. This isn't making sense. Did Salazar not join the EPA lawsuit? And if so, why wouldn't he? There has to be a good reason.

From a website that "exposes the social, economic, and environmental impacts of mining, particularly as they affect Indigenous and land-based peoples".: "Obama's new secretary of the interior, Ken Salazar, first gained national prominence as the crusading chief of Colorado's natural resources department who battled with Galactic in the 1990s over Summitville cleanup costs - which have far outstripped the estimated $80 million to $100 million in gold extracted from the mine during its short, ill-fated existence." minesandcommunities.org THE LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS IS PROUD TO CALL KEN SALAZAR AN ENVIRONMENTAL HERO lcv.org
