El Paso needs Asarco
As per the Executive Director from the TCEQ, a favorable recommendation was issued on May 1, 2007 for the restarting of Asarco.
Yet, our city leaders and several groups continue to put out misleading information and use scare tactics to garner support against Asarco. Why? Because it is not about the environment, it is about the land.
This is why our city government brought in national developers, met with them in secret and refused to provide various requested documents which including billing information on two outside law firms hired to represent the city. Thanks to the Texas Attorney General issuing a ruling through the Public Information Act, chapter 552 of the Government Code, the requested information had to be provided. Keep in mind that this dates back to March of 2006.
It is shameful, that these elected officials seem to think that it is okay to waste almost one million dollars for litigation, allocate an additional $50 thousand dollars to hire an ad agency and anywhere from $300 to $400 thousand dollars to run ads against Asarco. El Paso needs employment opportunities with above average salaries, benefits and union representation . . .El Paso needs Asarco
Again, this is not about the environment, this is about the land, Asarco's Land.
