Wonderful news that the project is politicised as issues about jobs jobs jobs always ready-weaponised

So, never mind the environmental issues, which are phooey as gold mining can be clean when done right, and milling same, and cyanide ... well, cyanide degrades in the sun

Can see the headlines now,

"Rich Elite Group Intervenes to Keep Poor Disadvantage Native American Domain As Private Playground"

"Living Requires Working"

"Whose Gold?"

"Schooling Requires Money"

"Future Requires Now"

"Fed was going to create 300 jobs in Rochester by funding Eastman Kodak managed by could-be criminals, but acts to destroy opportunity for $300 billion in Alaska"

... and as a college buddy's father back in 1980 obtained permission to develop a quarry w/I a line of sight mile of second home of Sierra Club president, am certain a gold project can get approval in the middle of nowhere as economic reality of unaffordable depression dawns in folks mind.

NAK does not need permission to develop the Pebble mine.

NAK only needs to be kept volatile, as it itself is a cloud-ATM bank.

Nothing needs to happen to the environment. Nothing needs to happen at all.

So, besides the management and shareholders, who is for the mine?

Pebble Mine has molybdenum, that which you know which does heavy influence over industry, ala the good old get-set-go-go-go days of rare earths

Pebble Mine is a sooner vs later, and not an if. National security imperative trumps all, naturally.

So, unless the world-improvers are suggesting to add one more strategic item too Team China / CCP control app, best get on with it ;0)

Recommendation: have the authorities talk down NAK, and accumulate NAK

Folks at some point shall have to decide whether to forego exploitation of gold, cede national security molybdenum side-pocket to narrow fishing interest even as mining can be done safely especially when money is no object given the object being dug up is money, the best money

Either that or tax tax tax and legalize drugs, to fund that which can be funded by digging instead

To popularize drug for societal-wide use been tried in China; did not work out well.

Arizona voters put tax to fund education, recreational marijuana on November ballot

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Voters will decide in November whether to pump $940 million into education by taxing Arizona’s highest earners and make the state the 11th in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana, election officials said on Friday.

The two measures cleared all legal challenges and met signature requirements to be placed on the Nov. 3 ballot, said Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s secretary of state.

Under the education proposal, backed by teachers, parents and education advocates, the state would levy a 3.5% tax surcharge on the income of individuals earning above $250,000 annually and households above $500,000.

Money would go to teacher and support staff salaries, career and technical programs, mentoring and retainment programs for new teachers and scholarships at the Arizona Teacher’s Academy.

A similar proposal was knocked off the ballot in 2018 by the Arizona Supreme Court over wording problems with its description.

The marijuana proposal would permit adults at least 21 years of age to sell, possess and consume up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. It also would implement a 16% tax on sales that backers estimate would generate $300 million annually and be dedicated to community colleges, public safety, health and roads.

A bid to legalize recreational marijuana narrowly failed about four years ago. The state has had medical marijuana since 2010.

Montana and South Dakota voters also will have marijuana measures on the November ballot.

Marijuana still remains illegal under federal law.
