The first Bradford commissioners meeting of 2019, hopefully the year they will deny the mining permit.

A short meeting today, with Kate Ellison and your historian in attendance.  Your representative reminded the commissioner of the health hazards of phosphate mining, and asked them to keep that in mind when considering a mining permit for their county.

Other than that, the only environmental issues were continued support for the emergency  activities regarding the abatement program for Sampson River and Alligator Creek.
